Our very own Bruce Buerger is running for the AHA Governing Committee. Make sure your AHA membership is up to date and go vote for Bruce!

This month we welcome Ethan Keller, Owner and Cidermaker from Cache Cider.  Focusing on single varietal ciders, Cache takes a slightly more traditional swing at ciders, but one that really shows the full expression of the apples.  That’s not to say that there isn’t going to be a little more magic going on in the cidery. 

Please join us at Clifford’s Supper Club in Hales Corners on Wednesday, March 24th, at 7:30 to hear the story of Cache and taste some of Ethan’s excellent work.  If you can’t make it to the meeting, then make sure to find Cache on Facebook or at the taproom, 2612 S. Greeley St. in Bay View.  Hope to see you there!

This month, we welcome Kevin Kuzlik of Revolution Brewing to share some of the best beer available from our neighbors to the south.  They are the largest independently owned brewery in the State of Illinois and have won multiple awards from FOBAB to GABF to regularly being recognized by the Brewers Association as one of the best breweries in the nation. 

Only a short drive from the Milwaukee area, they have two locations.  One is the site of their main brewery, which also houses a German beer hall inspired tap room.  The second is the brewpub, the original location, which has some outstanding pub food and a tap lineup that rivals pretty much any craft beer bar around.  

They are well known for their lineup of “Heroes” but over the past few years, their Deep Woods Series has really put them on the map with some amazing barrel aged beers.  If you join us for the meeting, you just might get to try one of them.   You can join us on February 24th, at 7:30, at Clifford’s Supper Club in Hales Corners.

After a year off, our own Dave Campbell is back with another installment of gadget night. A machinist and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrd5W8kV0qjLNBtQsfF8KFA) celebrity will be presenting some of his favorite inventions for brewing that you can hopefully add to your toolbox. Also, before the meeting, we will have another swap meet. If you have equipment you are looking to sell or trade, or if you are looking to purchase or are in need of something, join us starting at 7:00 and look to make a deal. The swap meet will end when the general meeting starts at 7:30.

We kindly ask that if you are planning on attending, you sign up in advance. We will have some commercial beer for the meeting and want to plan ahead. As with past months, we will be taking temperatures upon entry and will serve any beer from the jockey boxes or commercial beers in single serving cups. The link to sign up can be found below.

Hi Barons,  This month we will be having our annual Christmas party.  Please be advised that the meeting starts @ 7 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m.  There will be food provided by Clifford’s and of course homebrew and some commercial beers.  

We will be continuing with our socially distant protocol, that means Clifford’s will be serving the food and there will be no self serve items.   

Please remember that nobody can eat prior to Officer elections! If you still would like to run let the current board know ASAP!

If you would like to attend but would like to do it virtually please see the link below.
