August Club Only Competition
We’ll be doing a club only competition at our August Meeting. This will be similar to 2015’s May club only. It will be member’s choice, and the winner will get to brew their recipe with a 1912!
We’ll be limiting the styles to Summer Styles:
- Wits
- Saisons
- Belgian Trappist Style
- Trappist single
- Belgian dubbel,
- Belgian tripel
- Belgian Dark Strong
Those that ferment well during the summer months. More info on this will be provided later. Start thinking about it!
