July Club Meeting - In Person!

We made it!

Our next club meeting will be on Wednesday July 7th at 6:30pm, and we are happy to announce that we are able to meet IN PERSON once again at Fair Isle!

While we are meeting in person again starting this month COVID is still very much a thing that many of our members have to be concerned about due to having young children who are unable to be vaccinated. For this reason, please only come to the in person meeting at Fair Isle if you have been fully vaccinated. If anyone would still prefer to join virtually, we will be continuing to do our education and announcements via Zoom.

We are going to be meeting in Fair Isle’s “Secret Warehouse” (address below) so we don’t interrupt their thankfully busy business. According to Andrew Pogue the warehouse is very basic, with no chairs, water, or restrooms- though Fair Isle’s restrooms will be available to us.

Out of respect for Fair Isle’s business, they’d like us out of the warehouse early at 8:30, but the brewery is open until 10 for us to continue to visit.

Our educational guest this month will be Paul Arne from The Ale Apothecary outside of Bend. Ale Apothecary focuses on local ingredients and mixed fermentations, using a very simple brewhouse. From their website: “The Ale Apothecary creates totally natural, barrel-aged beer using ingredients off our land or sourced nearby, direct from Oregon farms.”

We are also fortunate enough that Paul was able to send some bottle to Chuck’s Hop Shop for us to do a virtual tasting with him- Bottles are available now at the Greenwood location for roughly $27ish.

For those of you who haven’t met with us in person before, if you have homebrew you’d like to bring to share and for feedback please do so! We won’t be doing much organized tasting this meeting, but it’s always good to get another brewer’s thoughts.

Duels are still largely on hold, but may pick up again soon as we start to meet in person again.
