A Homebrew Club Serving Boise, Nampa, and the Treasure Valley of Idaho. Our mission is to increase interest in and knowledge about the great art of fermentation.
I personal want to thank everyone that show up to the party tonight. It was a lot of fun seeing you all. The food was great and beer was plentiful. Those of you who couldn’t attend please know that you were sorely missed. Congratulations to David Reish, Brewer of the Year and Bob Hubler, our Das Meiste Bier.
My you all have a Merry Christmas and have a great brewing year.
For all of you participating in the Edge Brewing Competition this a reminder that tomorrow, September 1, is the last day to drop off your American Amber entry.
May the best beer win!
I know there is a lot going on this time of year and with the high temperatures outside brewing beer may not be at the top of everyones to do list. But, we do have another brewery sponsored competition planned for September.
American Amber Ale- Marcus Bezulhy at Edge Brewing has gladly offered to sponsor the September Brew Club Competition. The staff at Edge will decide the winner of this contest and the winner will be announced at our September meeting. The winning participant will have the opportunity to assist brewing their recipe at the brewery to be served at the Edge Restaurant and also on tap at Home Brew Stuff. To participate you must, 1) be a paid SRB member, 2) using your own recipe, brew a batch of American Amber Ale, and 3) drop off two 12-oz bottles at Edge Brewery attention Sherry Bezulhy by Thursday September 1.

Greetings,
Now that you have had a chance to look over the new Brewer of the Year Points Program I am looking for some feed back. After having had many discussions with various Club members I went to work and drafted the program. My goal was to creat a process by which we can all get involved and receive recognition for doing so. Starting with our April monthly meeting and going forward David and Nicole will offer a different agenda each month, whether it be a contest or purely for educational purposes. Our ultimate goal is that we all get more out of the Club than just a place to gather and drink beer. We want this to be a fun and rewarding experience. After all the purpose of the Club is for us all to become better brewers. This is a new program so let’s see how it develops. Give it a few months and if you have any concerns or ideas for improvements please feel free to contact me. Like I said, I am looking for some feed back.
Thank you David Reish and Nicole Thompson for your assistance with editing the final draft of the Brewer of the Year document. Your willingness to step up and help bring a new life to the Snake River Homebrew Club is truly appreciated.
Happy Brewing,
Terry

Terry Jones, President
David Reish, Vice President
John Cotten, Treasure
Jeremy Jones, Secretary/Marketing

I am excited about working for you in my new role and working with all our new officers.
Cheers! Terry
