September 2024 Meeting: Fantasy Homebrew Tasting and Judging!

At the July meeting, fourteen homebrewers drafted ingredients to make a beer – a yeast, a base malt, two specialty malts, two hops, and one wildcard ingredient. This year’s theme is “Road Trip”, so the wildcard ingredients were candy and snacks that could be found at nearly every gas station mini-mart. Candies included Twizzlers, Circus Peanuts, Junior Mints, Butterfingers, Peach Rings, Twix, and Werther’s Original; snacks were Pringles, Gardetto’s Snack Mix, Rice Cakes, Pretzel Bites, and Beef Jerky.

These beers will be judged by all members and guests in attendance for a crowd favorite award. They will also be judged by a panel of BJCP judges for a style award.

The meeting will be held on September 12 at 7:30pm at Queen City Clay. Come prepared to enjoy these beers and help decide the crowd favorite. See the diagram below for where to park and enter. Feel free to bring homebrew or other beers to share!

Note that the Norwood Lateral is closed in the westbound direction!

From Four Mile Wine, who presented about mead back in October 2022:

Some people may know 4 Mile Wine Co. home base is at the Camp Springs Tavern in Camp Springs, KY, but we’ve recently expanded into a few retail places across NKY (listed below) and we are trying to get the word out most effectively. We also just received our permit to self distribute to Ohio and are looking at places to get with. Jungle Jims is one we would love to get into. If anyone has recommendations / or connections we would be grateful to hear them.
