Club Meeting Tomorrow!

/in /by

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

/in /by

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!
Carl Townsend
