Next week the education topic will be presented from our friends at Five Star Chemical to talk about cleaning and sanitation. In addition to some questions from the club provided ahead of time, this will surely be an interesting and educational topic. All levels of brewer, meadmaker, cider enthusiast, and beyond are welcome to join.
Thu Oct 17 7-9pm, East Side Neighborhood Services
Between Every Voice for East Side, Taproom Takeover at Bauhaus, Brew For Good, a train ride, and cleaning/sanitation education with Five Star Chemicals, we have a lot going on the next few weeks. Everyone is welcome to stop by any of our events and check it out, no obligation!
Reach out if you have any questions (or ideas to keep us busy in November).
Cheers!
How does yeast work? The education topic this month is zymurgetically focused to talk about just this topic.
Bring your finished yeast samples (homebrew beer and such) to the meeting — or at least tasting glasses to sample from others.
This month we are visiting our friends at Trove brewing in Burnsville, discussing yeast and its role in brewing, and planning for the upcoming Brew For Good event.
Everyone is welcome to join any of the club meetings and events. See you there!
When tasting mead, what flavors should you expect? How does fruit, tannin, and acidity affect the sample? Is “pinky out” required while sipping? All of this and more will be part of the education topic tonight.
Happy August, everyone! There are a few things open right now for some upcoming planning. Check ’em out!
Sunday, October 6 is Brew For Good, the homebrew-only beer festival at Northern Stacks event space attached to the Forgotten Star brewery. This is a fantastic fundraiser for ESNS and a great way to share your beer with and get feedback from the public.
The October meeting education topic will feature Five Star (the makers of StarSan, PBW, and more) where they will answer our cleaning and sanitation questions.
For the next instance of the Explore-A-Style series, next week we will focus on hefeweizen, a traditional German wheat beer. A few club members brewed up examples and we will discuss what makes something a hefeweizen and what to look in sensory analysis.
The meeting is at East Side Neighborhood Services on Thu Jul 18 7-9pm. If weather permits, we will meet outside in the pavilion behind the parking lot.
Brewers of all levels are welcome and encouraged to join! We aim for education topics and club events for brewers of all levels — aspirational through expert — for engagement, community, and brewing support! Please stop by or reach out. Everyone is welcome!
This month we are planning a group bike ride to the Taproom Takeover social hour at Back Channel, an education topic about hefeweizen at the monthly meeting, and the summer party with low-gravity club competition.
If you have been on the fence about joining a club event, this is a great month to do so! Reach out to the club if you have any questions, otherwise just show up and we will make sure your tasting glass remains full.
Cheers! 
Malt being the foundation of beer, the education topic this month will investigate that through a malt steeping education topic at the meeting next week. Brewers of all levels are encouraged to stop by and see what this is all about!
Thu Jun 20, 7-9pm, East Side Neighborhood Services
If weather allows, we will meet in the pavilion behind the parking lot.
After winning the April club competition on pale ale, Jim and Isaac brewed up a batch at HeadFlyer which will be released on Friday. Swing by for a pint to celebrate.
