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.
Join our very own SRB mead gurus, Jon and Don, for an afternoon of mead education, sampling, and general revelry. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about how this honey-based beverage is made and to ask questions about ingredient sourcing, production techniques, styles, and more!
Where: Home Brew Stuff
When: Saturday, August 6th, 2p – 5p (or until we run out of mead)
What: Bring a mead to share or just bring yourself, a friend, and your curiosity

Please enter your name in this Sign-up Sheet (on the Gooding Farm tab) if you are interested in car sharing as a driver or a passenger. More details about the event and carpooling will be available at the April 14th Club meeting.
Hello aspiring BJCP judges!
Now that Beer School has ended, we know some of you may be looking for some final ways to prepare for the Tasting Exam on 3/19. If you are interested in getting together for some live beer judging practice sessions, we are tentatively planning to set something up for the evening of Wednesday, March 16th.
We will meet at a brewery and order beer flights of some classic styles that might be expected to show up on exam day. We’ll walk through some judging best practices, complete scoresheets individually, and discuss our impressions and scores. Practice makes perfect!
Exact time and location are TBD and will be confirmed once we have a sense of who wants to attend (and where everyone lives). Scoresheets and some extra writing implements will be provided but you’ll be responsible for your own beer.
Please note that this is NOT A SOCIAL EVENT and probably won’t be fun for you if you aren’t actually interested in either preparing for the tasting exam, or at least building some formal judging skills.
If you are interested, please email me directly (thompson.nic@gmail.com) and let me know whether 3/16 works (we can consider alternate dates), and where you’ll be coming from so I can select an equally inconvenient location for most.
Cheers!
On the first Saturday in November, thousands of people will gather at Learn to Homebrew Day sites worldwide to brew beer and learn about the hobby of homebrewing. In 1999, Learn To Homebrew Day was established by the American Homebrewers Association to promote the most rewarding, and delicious activity of all time — homebrewing
