April Recap

May 10, 2014meeting recapsAaron De Boer

April was a great month for the NBA. We took part in events, shared knowledge and of course shared beer.

April 3rd – The NBA joined brewers, beer activists and beer enthusiasts at the Science Museum’s Social Science event. The event was held on four floors in the midst of all the exhibits. Brewers and educational tables were scattered throughout. We brought twelve different hop varieties for olfactory inspection. Our table was very busy describing the hop’s; aromas, uses, origins and production. It was a awesome event we hope to be involved with again.
