DRAFT Night Out – Branch & Bone

Come on out February 23rd at 6PM with your family, friends, and fellow homebrewers to support our February sponsor, Branch & Bone! They are hosting the Big Beer Bacchanal where they’ll be bringing out some of their biggest beers for one last tapping. Once the kegs are gone, there’s no more of that beer left.

Branch & Bone supported tables at Brewfest as well as hosted one of our meetings last year on short notice so let’s make sure to thank them by drinking all their beer!

As of right now, there is no food truck information available but Branch & Bone welcomes carry-in food. Pizza Factory is right down the street and will deliver to your table.

DRAFT Meeting – November 19th

Think you can tell the difference between an imitation lager and the real thing?

Join the DRAFT club at our next meeting on Monday, November 19th at 7:00 PM at Warped Wing Brewery to put your skills to the test!

You and your friends are invited to participate in a sensory experiment to determine if two beers from a split batch using two different fermentation methods are indistinguishable in taste.  The event will include a discussion of the methods, impacts, and statistical analysis of the results.

Additionally, this meeting is the judging of the iron brewer competition! This go-around is the root and tuber experiment. Bring two of your best samples of a beer brewed by you with a root or tuber. A panel of judges will taste and grade your beers. The winner will choose the subject of our next iron brewer! Please label your beer with what it is (descriptive name/style) and a way to identify the brewer.

And as always, we’ll have a bottle share! Bring a couple homebrews and ask for feedback from your peers.

Cheers!

DRAFT Night Out – September 27th

Come out September 27th with your family and friends to Eudora Brewing Company for a DRAFT Night out event! Have a pint with your fellow homebrewers and explore another one of our wonderful Dayton area breweries. Thursday is Eudora’s day to infuse one of their beers with a special ingredient. Seems like a good day to come out!

Eudora is setting up their second location as of this posting so we will be visiting their original location located at 4716 Wilmington Pike

We organize these events to thank our generous sponsors throughout the year. Sometimes we even get a treat when we attend as a big group. This time, the brewer will be swinging by to get to know us and answer any questions we have about the brewery or brewing in general!

If they have a tap open, an infusion will likely be on tap for us.

As for food, they are looking into a food truck but we can carry in.

DRAFT Club Meeting — August 20th [BRANCH & BONE HOST!]

The DRAFT Iron Brewer competition will be taking place at this meeting! The last round of competition was won by Nate Pahl with his pale ale that went on to take 2nd in the American Ales category at the Ohio State Fair homebrew competition. Winning our iron brewer competition gives him the privilege of choosing the next theme. He has decide we should all brew with a floral component to our beer!
