July 2016 Recap

Ah… July! What a fantastic month!

July 7th, the NBA had our monthly tap room takeover at Bauhaus Brew Labs, and we had an awesome turnout! Three picnic tables plus!

July is also our Summer Party/BBQ + Small (6% or less) beer competition. President Aaron DeBoer hosted us. A number of members brewed on the club system. As well we had homebrew beer brats, burgers, grilled corn, as well as many other of the delicious delicacies of a summer BBQ. Congrats to Mike Colling, who’s Simco Smash won first place in the small beer comp.

Upcoming Events
Thursday August 18th will be our Monthly meeting @ EastSide Neighborhood Services. Our Education topic is going to be on multiple people brewing the same beer. Bring your best senses to explore what happens when people try to make the same exact beer.

Saturday August 20th the NBA will have a both/tent setup at the Nordeast Farmers Market. We do this to promote the club, rase awareness about home brewing, and try to get more members. The more the merrier and if you want to brew, that is more than welcome.
