The Boreal Brewers served locally homebrewed beer and cider at the annual Eldercircle fundraising dinner in August. This is the second year of this partnership, where the Boreal Brewers club serves a variety of homebrewed beer, wine, mead and cider during the social hour before the dinner. This year was unique as the cider came from apple trees only a couple hundred feet from the tasting site.
The Boreal Brewers are Minnesota’s northernmost homebrewing club, and have been teaching classes, helping at fundraisers and providing beer and brewing education for 21 years. ElderCircle’s local mission is “to maintain the independence of seniors by linking them, their families and caregivers to services”
