Hello Sudzers!
We met last Sunday (4/12) at Wagon Wheel BBQ in Mountain View and tasted four great homebrews. Thanks to Wagon Wheel and everyone who showed up.
- The visit to Alpha Acid Brewing will be next Sunday (4/19) at 3:00. There will be a Q&A with one of the brewers and discounted flights. If you’re planning on going please RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzZfqo0bh_4wX0qyiaYztcGuIFPHJRElrLM2hoCCEUTwkVpA/viewform?usp=publish-editor
