St. Paul Homebrew Club

Just stop on by. This meeting. Another meeting. Whenever it works for you. Meetings are informal and tend to last about two hours or so.

This meeting: Tuesday, January 7th, (2025!!!) 7 – 9 p.m.

We’ll be back at Falling Knife Brewing (thanks, Tommy!). We’ll be doing an off-flavor kit, actual off-flavor TBD. Adding to this, Falling Knife’s tasting panel employees (maybe Tom, depending on timing with the Wolves game that night) may be joining us as well. Great opportunity to compare taste perspectives with industry experts.

Tom will have a nice selection as always, so bring your cash money.

Falling Knife Brewing:
783 Harding St NE #100, Minneapolis, MN 55413

The next Brew the Style is German Pilsner and scheduled for is being pushed to the March ‘25 meeting.

Paying club dues is the hip new thing for 2025. Back also this year, if you volunteered at a bottle sort, judged, stewarded, etc. at a competition, there’s a code for a $5 discount on next year’s dues (https://sphbc.org/product/membership-for-2025/).

This meeting: Tuesday, December 3rd, 7 – 9 p.m.

We’ll be back at Falling Knife Brewing. It is a magical time of year – if you pay close attention you may catch a glimpse of Tom Berg, so lively and quick. This is a potluck, so please bring something to share if you wish (club members – see the club email for a message from Dave about the sign up sheet).

Keep in mind that we can’t bring homebrew to Minneapolis, so keep it at home this month. But Tom will have a nice selection, so bring your cash money.

This meeting: Tuesday, September 3rd
We’re getting surly for the September meeting on Tuesday, September 3 at 7 PM – literally – at Surly Brewing in Minneapolis.

Meet at the host counter between 6:45 and 7. Matt Denny will be talking with us about what he does for sensory analysis and QA at Surly. Should be a good one! Then we have some tables reserved in the taproom after the tour. Maybe even a free beer, but I’m not making any promises. We’ll have to leave the homebrew at home again for this one.

October is the next Brew the Style challenge, California Common, 19B, so get that brew on your calendar and head to Beermeister if you need yeast. Aric confirmed with the guy there that he’ll order up a couple extra packs of the Cal Common strain. And speaking of Aric, he’s offered to host, so bring your homebrew and a chair as we help him break in his new garage and backyard. More details coming in September.

Also coming up are Hoppy Halloween and the Nordeast Brewers Alliance Sour Times Homebrew Competition.

Brew for Good registration is up open for the September 10th event and our goal is a half-dozen SPHBC offerings. We can serve bottles as well as kegged to expand our repertoire. Additionally, there will be an “Alpha King” contest featuring Columbus Cryo hops from Yakima Chief Hops. Register here.
