  • Business meeting – Covering upcoming club events and activities, calls for action, and general announcements.
  • People’s Choice – Following judging, entries to the AoB in addition to other members’ creations can be sampled and voted on by all attendees, with the winner receiving a beer-related prize. All entries to the AoB are also entered into a random drawing for an additonal prize.
  • Nuts & Bolts – A presentation of a beer style, homebrew gadget, or anything like that to educate the members on beer or brewing.
