June Newsletter Lots to talk about this month, let’s get into it… June Meeting Recap We had a great turnout at our meeting last week. We had our first Feedback Corner, which paired BJCP judges with homebrewers to get 1 on 1 feedback about their beer.  Everyone involved seemed to find it beneficial, so we hope to continue this every month, permitting we have enough judges. I gave a short talk on Cold IPA vs IPL and we sampled some commercial examples.  Sean spoke about State Fair (go check out the last post on the website for more info!).   As…

May Newsletter Spring has sprung and it’s Derby time in Louisville! Hoping everyone is having a great year so far.  The bulk grain pickup was a success, I want to thank everyone for being understanding about the extra costs.  Hopefully, freight prices will come down soon.

Hey LAGERS!  If you missed this month’s meeting, we had a nice chat about hop water.  Special thanks to Brandon and Evan for that!  I learned a lot and going to make some of my own this weekend.  If you decide to make some yourself, bring some to the next meeting and we can all compare notes!  The April meeting is on April 17th. We’ll have CT Owen and Jason Rosenberger with two identical SMaSH Vienna Lagers, one with American malt (Briess) and one with German malt (Best).  We’ll do a taste test and decide which we like best!

Hello LAGERS, and welcome to the first newsletter of 2023!   I hope you all had a fantastic 2022!  It was a year of big change for the LAGERS.  Greg left his position as President and I took over several months ago. For much of the year, we were still getting our feet back under us from COVID. But we were able to bring back Yappy Hour, the Tailspin competition, and consistent in-person meetings. We had talks from club members and professional brewers that hopefully taught you a few new tricks! Overall, it was a good year and a step back…

At 7:30, Jerry Nagy, head brewer at Against the Grain, will be talking to us about dry hopping.  Come on out, bring some homebrew to share, and enjoy a short talk.  New T-Shirts Brandon got us some new shirts!  Huge shoutout to him and to Full Bleed Mfg who did a killer job.  We made a few tweaks to the original LAGERS logo, and I really think you all are going to dig these shirts!  They will be available tomorrow…
