February Meeting – first for 2014
The first Canberra Brewers meeting of 2014 was held on Thursday February 6 with many new members signing up on the night joining one of Australia’s biggest and more successful brewing clubs.
The committee quickly got business over with (well, as quick as they can with Club President Mark “Billy” Bilbrough at the helm) and launched straight into the all-important briefs for the upcoming Multicultural Festival.
With the briefs over and everyone knowing exactly what to expect on the clubs biggest weekend of the year, Stephen “Lawfo” Lawford took the chance to get up and talk about his English Mild providing a keg for sampling and lots of tips for brewers wanting to make one themselves.
In a scene reminiscent of Thor and his hammer, a few brewers were seen proudly brandishing their brand new shiny stainless steel mash paddles in the air – ok, perhaps it was only me…
With most of the formalities over for the night, club members took the chance to catch up with mates and talk about their holiday brewing adventures while also getting to know the new members for the night.
A great start to the year with some great prizes going to committee members and a few other members of the club.
Until next month!
