Greenbelt Brewers Association

Hey guys, I found another upcoming local event. BeerFest 2008 “A Celebration of All Things Beer” It will take place on Saturday May 31, 2008 from 2PM to 5PM at Sudwerk Brewery. I really think we should be at the event helping out with a booth, serving home brew. I am going to contact the event organizer and see what I can do. If anyone is willing to help me out at the event, let me know. I am gonna start thinking about what to brew to bring to the event. Any help would be great. Maybe we could do a group brew to get beer ready for the event.
Cheers!

Here is a clip from a recent e-mail update I got about their upcoming releases: “As most of you know, Vinnie and I are expanding our brewing operations to a second location here in Santa Rosa. Almost everything is in place and we plan to brew our first batch on April 21st. We will brew that day. I can’t afford to pay for hops if we don’t!
Our next round of barrel-aged beers are bottled and will be released in about a month, says Vinnie from the couch. Unfortunately, we are unable to direct-ship out of state due to state legislation. If you live within California, you will be able to order these beers from our website in about a month. I will let you know when they are ready for shipment.”

So it looks like we will be able to order their beers online this year, I will be attending whatever release event happens, as soon as anything is announced I will let you guys know.

Cheers!

Looks like this year’s West Coast Brew Fest has been announced.  It will be Saturday, May 17, 2008, 1PM - 5PM, Miller Park, Sacramento.  I went last year and had a great time, I think I saw some Greenbelters there too.  Tickets are on sale now and are $27 for pre-sale, which gets you UNLIMITED tastings.  Check out the website… http://www.matsonian.com/wcbf/home.html  If people from the club are interested in attending, we should try to arrange some type of carpool or something.  Let me know what you guys what to do.
Cheers!

I will be making changes as I figure this all out, so please bear with me. If you are looking for the Brew Chat board, it is on the right side under links.

Hope you guys enjoy the new site!
