President’s Report for October

Hey Fellow FOAMers!

Are we ready for Oktoberfesticuffs?

This month’s meeting is our annual club competition that pits all the German brewing styles against each other.

  • 3. Czech lagers
  • 4a. Munich Helles
  • 4b. Festbier
  • 4c. Helles Bock
  • 5A. German Leichtbier
  • 5B. Kölsch

FOAM Reverse Pro-am

The next club competition coming up is the Reverse Pro-am. This is where we take a commercial scale beer from a local brewery and downscale it to a 5-10 gallon batch and then we have the brewers from that brewery come to our January meeting and judge them.
