Month: April 2023

April 2023 Meeting

Growing our group

This month we had a great turnout and many goodies to try. With eleven participants, it is getting a little more difficult to spread a single bottle around. However, there were so many different styles and even a cider, it made for a fabulous evening.

April’s beverages:

  • Jamie and Mark (Oyster Boys Brewing): Neck Oil clone (4.1%), Hefeweizen (>5.5%), and Rum Soaked Raisins: a Belgian dubbel (7%)
  • Alex: Cider (11%), Saison (5.4%), and a three year old Christmas stout (4.2%)
  • Steve T: English Bitter (4%), Amber Ale (6.8), and a California Common (8.2%)
  • Mark M: Landlord clone (4.6%) and Cold IPA (6%)
  • Charlie: Grape wine Gose (5%) and a 5 year old Belgian quad (12%)
  • Ed: Wild Ale aged on grape skins (6%) and a 6 year old Impy stout (15%)

We are gearing up for the June recipe roulette competition. I believe all members that are interested in participating have drawn a flavour. Drawings are as follows:

  • Nicki – grapefruit
  • Ed – caramel
  • Dena – vanilla
  • Steve L – ginger
  • Bernie – honey
  • Charlie – mushroom
  • Ben – rhubarb
  • Alex – rose petals
  • Munro – herbal
  • Theo – orange peel
  • Mark (OBB) – floral
  • Jamie (OBB) – raspberry
  • Mark M – lemon
  • Steve T – pineapple

We are still in need of judges and prizes for the competitions. If you have the connections for us, please give us a shout on Facebook.
