Big Brew 2018

May 5, 2018 – Don’t Miss It!

Big Brew LogoWe’ll be gathering at Klockow Brewing Company for our annual Big Brew event.  Bring your equipment and brew if you want, or just come and visit with friends who are brewing in the parking lot.

Some of the folks will be showing up at 11 AM to get started, but there is no hurry to get going and finish.

Don’t miss the simultaneous toast at 12:00 p.m. CT.  We’ll raise a glass with fellow brewers across the globe who are participating in their local big brew events.

One of the members will be bringing in his electric HERMS system and will crank out a 10 gallon all grain Belgian Dubbel.  Others will be doing extract kit brews, and all grain brews on traditional propane burner systems.

This is not a public tasting event, but feel free to bring some homebrew to share with your fellow brewers and guests.  You might want to bring some food to eat, and as always, we can order food in for delivery.

Lets Get Brewing

In 1988, May 7 was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day. The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) created AHA Big Brew as an annual event to celebrate National Homebrew Day around the world. AHA Big Brew is held each year on the first Saturday in May.

Big Brew 2017

Big Brew 2017 will be held on May 6th.

Big Brew 2017 bannerSpook invited us to brew at his place on that day, so we’ll meet there and brew up a storm.

This will be a club member only event (you may bring a guest, but we are not advertising the location.  All members are welcome, so if you need directions to Spook’s place, contact Chad or Steve and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Please RSVP if you can make it, so we can get a count for food and treats.  Click here to RSVP via Doodle.

We’ll brew a club batch of one of the Big brew recipes, and you are welcome to bring your equipment and brew outside of the garage.  There is plenty of room indoors for the club brew, but we won’t have a tent outside for other brewers, so plan accordingly if the weather is bad.

We hope to see you there.

Big Brew 2016

Celebrate National Homebrew Day With Us on May 7th

Big Brew 2016

The Boreal Brewers will be celebrating National Homebrew Day at Zorbaz on Pokegama Lake.  We’ll be brewing out front by the main entrance, and will provide tastings of homebrew on the deck lakeside.  Wade and his crew will have craft beers on tap, plus great food, as always, available from the Zorbaz menu.

Come on out and brew with us, learn about brewing beer, or just hang out and watch and talk beer!  No politics here!  Small samples of a variety of homebrews will be available.  Remember, a tasting is not a swilling, so savor the flavor.

Don’t Miss the Simultaneous Toast noon CDT on May 7, 2016!

The 2016 Official Recipes are available on the American Homebrewers Association’s website. Brewers are welcome to brew any style, but you can expect to see on of the official recipes being brewed that day.
