October club meeting is next week

/in /by

This months meeting will be at the brew store next Thursday.  We will be taking nominations for the next years board for ALL 3 voted on positions (president, vice president and treasurer).  If you can’t make the meeting, you can always send a nomination for any of these fine positions to board@pacificgravity.com and it would be great if you could do so before next Thursday.  Also, if you have an itch to help out the club in any capacity (we sure could use it), but don’t want to be any of the voted on positions, there are other positions that are appointed that you can also volunteer for like club secretary.

Speaking of volunteering, we need a volunteer to take on the commercial tasting for the meeting next week.  The style this month is wood aged beers, so anything pretty much goes as long as it’s been aged in some wood! Please email styles@pacificgravity.com if you’d like to volunteer.  It’s super fun to do and you get to pick beer out on someone else’s money :).

Can’t do this month but you’d love to do the tasking? You’re in luck and we need a volunteer for the November tasting as well!

September club meeting is tomorrow

/in /by

Just a friendly reminder that the club meeting is tomorrow at Casa Molloy. The style of the month is IPAs so bring your favorite IPA you’ve brewed or even a commercial one you love with a passion. Brian said he’ll be happy to debate with any of you that there is no better IPA than a Pliny.

Who doesn’t like IPAs???? Be there or miss out!

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

Tomorow – 20th Anniversary Club Meeting

/in , /by

Everyone-

Tomorrow is the big day!  Many of us will be at Tomm & Danise’s place tonight to setup – if you can make it we would love to see  you.  The more people we get to help us setup and cleanup the day after the better.

I just want to remind everyone that just like our other meetings we should all be extremely appreciative that Tomm and Danise have opened up their home for us to celebrate 20 years of an awesome homebrew club.  With that, I want to remind you all  to be respectful of their house while you are there.  We have rented a porta potty outside which is reserved for men/boys.  Women/Girls may use the indoor restroom.  Other than that we ask that you please keep the party outside where there will be plenty of beer and food!

I strongly suggest you secure some type of ride to and from the event so that you do not get behind the wheel after you have had too many beers.  A taxi far, uber fare or favor is far less costly than what can happen if you drive when you shouldnt.

That said – I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow and hope you all have a blast (and bring your beer!!)

20th Anniversary – Door Giveaways and 20th Gear!

/in , /by

We are only a few days away from our 20th Anniversary Soiree!  20 years of educating each other about beer, learning more and more about homebrew, bus trips, homebrew competitions, etc is no small task.  The board wanted to do something special for our club members for this anniversary so we purchased a couple of pieces of Pacific Gravity gear for this party.

20th Anniversary T-Shirts – $25.

We went all out with our T-Shirts for this year’s anniversary.  These shirts – designed by Tad (cheers buddy) – look freaking awesome!  They are black T’s with front, back and sleeve logos printed on them.  These shirts will be available at the door for purchase for $25.

20th Anniversary Glassware – Free!

We wanted to do something special for our members for this event as well.  Instead of selling two different types of schwag for the anniversay we decided we would print up some killer glassware to give away to club members at the door.  To receive your free glass you must be a club member who has paid his/her dues.  We only made 72 of these bad boys so make sure you get to the party early enough to grab one.  If we run out of glasses we will have a sign up sheet so that you can let us know you are interested in a glass – or if you wanted a second one you can sign up for it at the party as well.

Just remember that this party is a kick off of our 20th anniversary year.  We have some other events that we are trying to lock down dates for the rest of the year.  Ill make sure to keep everyone up to date with events at our monthly club meetings – but you can also browse through our events calendar on this website to keep up to date.

See you on Saturday!

Happy Pacific Gravity 20th Anniversary Kickoff Month!!

/in , , , , /by

To kickoff our 20th anniversary, we will be posting old and possibly forgotten photos of past events / members each month starting with some from around 1999.  There are certainly more, but we’re trying to pick some of the better ones.  We wish they were a little better resolution, but after all, it was 1999!!! Hope you all enjoy and party like it’s 1999 this year to celebrate! …just don’t dress like it’s 1999, wow!

Cheers to our 20th and may we have an even better next 20 years! Read more →
