March 2019 Newsletter

Hello Everyone,

We held our March business meeting at Crazy Jakes on March 26th.  Approximately 18 members were present.

We recapped our March events, including Art of Beer, our social at Belt Line Brewery, and Beerology, as well as the Amber Waves of Grain homebrew competition.  Thank you to the many people who helped to make AWOG a success, and congratulations to Mark Zambron for his Best of Show winning Gueuze.  We voted in a new member, Tom Sirgey.  Jim Gorman discussed mash tun construction and members shared their equipment/setups.

Upcoming events and notifications:

Maple Weekend at Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village is scheduled for March 30-31 from 9am-4pm.  There will be a brewing with maple sap homebrew demonstration.  Please contact Keith Curtachio if you’re interested in helping with the homebrew demo.
