Ever since I started brewing I wanted to join a local brew club to meet other like me and people that have much better brewing skills than I to glean new ideas in making beer. Well last night I went to my first meeting and joined Inland Empire Brewing Club. It was fantastic.
I first got to meet several new people and have them test some of my beers to get their input. Then they had a speaker, Patrick Rue, a brewer and owner of The Brewery discussed some of his beers. After tasting several of his beers I realized just how far the micro brewing has gone in the country and what level I need to go if I wasn't to be successful ... his beer were clean , flavorful and just darn fantastic.
After he spoke the allowed several brewer to have their beers tasted and get the Club member's reactions. They had some that were kit brewers to others that seasoned brewers ... all were welcome. Normally, I personally am not a IPA drinker I tasted a couple that were quite nice last night. The climax for me was when a couple other brewer got me to showcase a couple of beers for the tasting too. I poured Kick Ass Sassafras, Sweet Sharon and Moose Musk ... all received well and got some great feedback.
What a great bunch of future friends.
This is the initial site for the organic microbrewery I am setting up. It will go through all of the processes from successes to failures that go along with setting up a brewery first at home then to small scale production.
