Learn to Homebrew Day was November 3rd at Niagara Traditions  Tim C and and Keith lead a homebrew demo, and many club members stopped by to talk with attendees and share their homebrew.

The educational portion of the night consisted of learning about Roggenbier presented by Caelen and Bob.  They shared two homebrew and one commercial examples.  Thanks Caelen and Bob for giving the presentation.  We’re seeking volunteers for January.
