Reminder: Club meeting tomorrow at CCHBS
Just a friendly reminder that the monthly club meeting will be tomorrow at the Culver City Home Brew Supply Store. Here’s the event:
LABW opening gala – Soda wanted!
Hey all you soda makers! The Los Angeles Brewers Guild is requesting your talents to contribute to the Non-Alcoholic refreshment tent at the LA Beer Week opening gala beer festival on June 20th. Fellow PG member Jonathan Porter of Smog City Brewing Co. is heading up the effort to put together an assortment of awesome non-alcoholic beverages for people to enjoy.
Here’s the details:
Sodas and other NA crazy beverages must be ready to go by Friday, June 19th and must be made to pour on draught via corny kegs. We’re asking for 3-5 gals (or more if you want to go all out!) per type and are offering to trade one VIP ticket per keg for the fest that day. The guild will also reimburse you for the cost of making the soda! Ever wanted to try making that crazy hibiscus ginger lemonade with jalapeños and horseradish? Now’s your chance! (actually, please don’t make that one 🙂 )
We don’t have all the details worked out for pouring, but we’re asking that if you come to the fest, you also spend time at the tent pouring and talking to people about your creation.
If you need CO2 for carbonation, or even a loaner keg, please email Porter at portertbc@gmail.com for questions, comments, concerns, and to let us know that you want to participate!
Thanks!
Get Ready for the AHA Conference
The annual AHA National Homebrewers Conference starts Thursday, June 11th at the Town & Country Resort in San Diego. There are still a few slots left if you haven’t already registered. Check out http://www.ahaconference.org/registration/details/ if you can make it.
We need to coordinate some of the club activities, so if I don’t already know you are going, please drop me a line at competitions@pacificgravity.com. In particular, I need to know what kegs you plan to bring so the relativity complex labels can be made for them. Unlabeled kegs will get lost, or for sure will be warm and flat when you find them.
Please plan on helping out with the social hour pouring from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Friday afternoon, and again for Club night from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM Friday evening. Please also plan to help with the booth set-up for the evening session after we finish the afternoon pouring.
It’s going to be a great conference!

Club Meeting Tomorrow!
Everyone-
First off – sorry about the website issues. It looks like the site is back up for now (hooray!) just in time for me to remind you all that we have a club meeting tomorrow night at CCHBS. We have some important stuff to go over – most importantly is getting information about next months National Homebrewers Conference in San Diego. Announcements will start at 8pm tomorrow, so please be there by then.
Also I updated the calendar with this year’s Summer Party date July 25 which will again be hosted by Dean. Mark it down in your calendars!
Thanks-
Brian
California State Fair Entries Due May 3rd
Online entry registration is due May 3rd for the California State Fair Homebrew Competition. Entry information and registration is available at http://www.northerncalbrewers.com/homebrew-competition.
Thanks to Jeff Sanders and Ryan Penrod of Strand Brewers Homebrew club, you can drop off your physical entries at the South Bay Brewing Supply Co. on or before May 8th. Jeff has graciously offered to drive the beers down to the San Diego drop-off point. Please do NOT drop them at the Culver city shop. There is no pick-up there and your beer could very well be consumed!
South Bay Brewing Co is at 1311 Post Avenue in Old Town Torrance.
If you happen to miss the local drop-off, you can ship you beers up to Sacramento by May 15th.
Good Luck!
