March 2026 Club Meeting Thurs March 19 7:30 at Tortugo Brewery

/in , /by

What’s the craic PG!

Happy March!  It is leprechaun season with a lot of fun to be had!

This Thursday 3/19 will be our monthly club meeting at the usual time and place. Being it is only a 2 days after St Pat’s, there will also be some St Patrick’s Day type goodies provided by Club Chef Ian and Club Monkey Parker.

March Monthly Meeting; Thursday 3/19/2025 at 7:30 PM
Tortugo Brewing Co.

(424) 227-9963

Two weeks ago, our first Saturday was a lot of fun – thanks to all who made it down to enjoy the Smog and Cellador anniversary collaboration beers.  Porter and Alex were great hosts as always!

We have spoken to Porter and have now scheduled Monster Brew 2026 for Saturday May 23 – details will be filled in shortly, but save the date and start making plans for your epic modifications!

And don’t forget 5/1-5/2 is the Southern California Homebrewers Festival at Vail Lake near Temecula. I believe there may still be some slots available for tent campers – If you would  like to attend, please let Terry know ASAP to reserve your spot.  I have attended the last 3 years and I gotta say, it really lives up to the hype – a huge amount of fun camping with the club (and meeting other clubs) and attending the massive festival with more home-brew taps than I have ever conceived of!  If you have beers you want to have served at the fest let Carl know.

It is also time for annual club dues which can be paid at the meeting or via the webiverse – details below.

I hope to see you all at the meeting Thursday!
Slainte’!
Parker Waechter
President – Pacific Gravity Homebrewers

It’s Time to Do the Dues!

It’s March and that means its time for our annual Pacific Gravity membership dues collection.  All club members need to pay their dues to keep their membership active until March 2027.  Annual dues are $48 for individuals or $72 for couples and are prorated at $4 per month for members who joined the club within the last year.

Keep in mind that your dues are the primary way we fund such club activities as club parties, monthly meetings, club brews and much more.  Your paid membership also ensures that you’ll continue to receive the many club benefits available, access to various brewing activities, discounts and information.

There are several ways you can renew your annual dues.  Club Treasurer, Craig Corley will be collecting dues at the upcoming March club meeting and other upcoming club events.  You can go old school and send Pacific Gravity a check to PO Box 2451, Culver City CA 90231. And for the ultimate in convenience, you can renew your dues online via the PayPal links below:

Individual Membership – Full 1-year Renewal: https://py.pl/121AAr
Couples Membership – Full 1-year Renewal: https://py.pl/5LD8s

Along with your dues renewal, we need all members to complete a Membership Application/Liability Waiver. And in the case of couples memberships, we need this for both members.  You can fill out and submit your Membership Application/Liability Waiver at the following link: https://forms.gle/f2xCjNBAp5qoJjFK8

All current club members should have gotten a renewal notice via email detailing their dues renewal amount and member information on file. This is a good opportunity to update our membership records, so please let Craig know of any changes to your member information (address, email, phone, etc) or include changes with your check/renewal form.

For any individual members who might be interested, the couples membership provides full membership status/benefits to both partners of a couple including membership cards, emails, etc. Note that the couples membership is optional, couples can continue with one partner being an individual member and the other being their guest.  It’s an additional $24 to upgrade your individual membership to a couples membership and you’ll need to include your partner’s name and email along with your payment.

Have questions about your dues or how much you owe? Check with Craig at the March club meeting or by email at Treasurer@PacificGravity.com.

Bright and early this Friday, we will be brewing our collaboration English Barleywine with Rives and Stephen at Project Barley’s Lomita location.  They are also allowing us to take home 5G of wort for $35 monster brew style – that is a heck of a bargain for an OG 1.095 Barleywine!  We will be brewing about 50 Gallons more than fits in the fermenter, so we need to sell some batches ;)!  If you have grown lackadaisical about your homebrewing, now is an easy time to breeze in an grab a really nice beer, where all you need to add is yeast and love.  It might be possible to have them store the wort for you to pick up later in the day or next day if you can’t make the morning brew – contact Rives or Parker to discuss if that is of interest.  Hope to see you there!

SUMMER PARTY THIS SATURDAY August 16

/in , /by

It is time – the summer party is upon us!  Come one, come all and join in what is always an epic celebration of all things beer, food and comradery with your friends at Pacific Gravity.

The party will be happening on August 16, 2025 at Dean Sussman’s palazzo in the Pacific Palisades.  The address is 1310 Amalfi Drive, Pacific Palisades CA.

The party will start around 2 PM and continue on until late evening.  The party is free for all Pacific Gravity members and their first guest; additional guests may attend for a small fee of $10.  Kids are still free.

Dean’s house has a large yard and a pool so all attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and swim trunks (and towel) if they plan on going for a swim.

This year our theme is a Mediterranean.  Chef Ian and Sous-Chef Rob will of course be creating their legendary culinary masterworks, and this category opens the door pretty wide for everyone to participate in the pot-luck portion to provide sides!  Think Italian, Greek, North African, Spanish, French … some suggestions: tzatziki sauce, hummus, tabbouleh salad, riffs on Caprese salad, dolmas…
Note for food contributions, we will NOT have use of a kitchen for heating or cooling so please plan accordingly. Please label your food containers so that we can get them back to you.

We will of course have our traditional “best of party” homebrew beer and soda competitions, so be sure and bring your spectacular specimens (or at least “interesting entries”) for everyone to enjoy.  If you plan to bring a keg, please email Carl at competitions@pacificgravity.com with the name of your beer/soda to help him keep the things flowing.

As always this event is run by the volunteers, your help is needed!  Set up will be on Friday at 6:30 pm and clean up on Sunday morning are especially necessary.  The volunteer crew has always had a lot of fun while working and it is a great time.

If you have any questions about food, feel free to contact Chef Ian at MasterChef@pacificgravity.com or if you have question on volunteering you may contact Parker at President@pacificgravity.com
