Hello Sudzers!
For our May 18th meeting, there was a presentation on thiols, and we tasted six great homebrews. Thanks to Clandestine Brewing and everyone who showed up.
- DOZE is organizing a homebrew picnic for all homebrew clubs in the Bay Area to be held in mid-August. Members present at the meeting expressed interest in participating.
