First Saturday October 4 at Rasselbock
Our October “First Friday” event will be be held this Saturday October 4th from noon to 3pm at Rasselbock in Mar Vista. It is Oktoberfest, so please join us for festivities and of course some most excellent German beer!
Our October club meeting will be the traditional Chili cook-off, but this year it will be held at Tortugo on Saturday October 11th at noon. So start planning your best/most unique entries now! Also, this will be your opportunity to nominate members for the Member of the year and the 2026 Board!
Our brew day at Project Barley, Lomita was a lot of fun. Rives and Stephen were great hosts and let u
s play brewer fantasy camp for a day. When it comes time to bottle, we will likely need some help – I will let you know more when the time comes.
