Barrel project 2.0 fill day

barrel project

“We’ve got four barrels full… four barrels of fun!” – Chip Walton

Ok so maybe that wasn’t an exact quote. We did however have Chip Walton of Chop & Brew and Summit Brewing Co. fame (formerly of BrewingTV and Northern Brewer) join us to video archive the day as members of the NBA filled barrels from Barrel Project 2.0. Chip’s will be using this footage for an upcoming webisode of Chop & Brew! Chip does great work so we’re very excited to see what he puts together.

Barrel project participation is open to NBA members only. JOIN OUR HOMEBREW CLUB HERE to participate in future fill days!

Here’s how the transfer schedule panned out: Continue reading Barrel project 2.0 fill day →

BAMF Meeting Notes 10 Feb 2013

meeting recaps

Attendance: Matt, Nick, Nate, Tyler

Yesterday four brave BAMFers braved the weather to unite at Pracna to discuss club details.  Read the notes below to see updates on the February meeting/barrel fill, as well as some of the upcoming club opportunities and plans.

Taproom takeover at Dangerous Man in Northeast! Just a fraction of our crew that showed up.

  •  Taproom Takeover – Dangerous Man
    • Friday February 8th marked the NBA’s first Taproom Takeover.  About 20 club members descended on Dangerous Man to imbibe and enjoy the destination taproom.  W e even had a raffle for an amazing prize.  Thanks to Dangerous Man for hosting us, and giving us a shoutout during the night.  We’ll be back soon!
    • Future Taproom Takeovers will include Indeed, Summit, 612Brew and a slew of other places.  Expect a “firm” schedule of all of them to be presented at the February meeting.  We plan on doing more raffles, maybe charging for tickets so we can afford to give away something cool.
