Calling all Brewers and all who would like to learn.

This year (2024), one of my goals is to bring back our Most Excellent Brewers of Starkhafn Brewers Guild. My plan is to meet one each quarter, and have a different focus each quarter.

For example:
Q1- Meads
Q2- Beers and Hard Ciders
Q3- Cordials and Spiced Wines
Q4- Syrups and Foods

If we like, we could include sharing and tasting as well as a quarterly brewing challenge.

If someone has expertise, and I know many of us do, they could offer to teach and share their knowledge. We could also have different hosts, if people want to do that.

If you are interested, please contact me at Starkhafn Minister of Arts & Sciences.

In Service,
Lucia
