June 2024 Update

The June meeting will be at the Polish White Eagle Club in Turner on Thursday, 6 June with an education session on hops, and our raffle will be giving away lots of hops and hoppy beers. There’s also the six pack swap and our first swap meet.

Plus we’re raffle off the kegerator at this meeting! So come along and don’t forget to bring your beer to share!

The education session will involve a conversation about Hops. Details direct from the good doctor: “The Naked Hop…Steely Dan strips hops bare and we speak of things odd and esoteric with methods old and new of adding that spice…scrap the old actually”.

Canberra Brewers’ Cypher Brewing Co launch

Join us at Cypher Brewing Co on Saturday June 8 for the launch of Pat’s Melting Point Red IPA!

After winning the best of show at the recent Cypher club competition, Pat had the privilege of working with Cypher’s head brewer Matt Thiele to scale up and brew his beer on the premises – 1500L of it!

Pat worked with Matt and his assistant brewer, Aidan, helping haul in 484kg of grain and 7kg of hops. Final gravity is still pending, but we’re looking at a rich, malty, piney/resinous red IPA at about 7%. The beer was fermented with yeast taken from the batch of Cypher draft that the club helped brew a few weeks back, so thanks to the club for helping with the yeast starter!

Let us know (on facebook) if you can make it and we’ll book a couple of tables.
