Thank you to everyone who came out to the June meeting at Calamari's. We had a great time! I really enjoyed the beer -- Phoenix from Sly Fox -- and I am interested to know what everyone thought. More hops taste than I thought I'd like, but I really did like it. That's the beauty of the society -- the opportunity to try something new, and meet lots of new people!

Good morning all! Thanks to everyone who came out to last night's meeting at U Pick 6. I am wondering if you enjoyed the beer we sampled -- Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat. Let us know by blogging about it on this site. I am fond of wheat beers so I was looking forward to trying it. Very drinkable! I especially liked that the fruit taste was not overpowering, though it smelled very fruity. It was a little light on the wheat taste, but overall a delicious and easy-to-drink beer that has hot summer… Continue
