July 2015 – General Meeting: Karben4

K4Brewery1The Beer Barons of Milwaukee invite you to attend our upcoming member meeting, Wednesday, July 22nd at our usual location, Cliffords Supper Club in Hales Corners.

The July meeting will be a commercial meeting ($10) featuring Karben4 Brewing Company out of Madison. Brewmaster Ryan Koga along with owners Alex Evan and Zak Koga will be our guests. Karben4 is currently in limited distribution in the Milwaukee area so this will be an excellent opportunity to sample taproom-only beers while talking with the guys at K4 about their rapid success in the Wisconsin brewing industry.

As always, we encourage you to bring your homebrew to share. Beginning this month we’d like each member who brings a keg to talk a little about the beer you’re sharing. This allow you to better showcase your homebrew as well as receive contructive feedback from the club. If you bring a keg (or enough bottles to share) to the meeting and email the board in advance to let us know what you are bringing, we will give you $20 for your ingredients.  Please e-mail [email protected]  and let Josh know directly at [email protected] so we can have adequate serving equipment on hand.

Meeting Podcast – Bill Tressler – Hinterland

Bill Tressler, owner of Hinterland Brewing & Gastropubs as guest speaker.  Hinterland Gastropub continues to be one of the most highly rated restaurants in Milwaukee and they have also been collaborating with local craft brewers and retailers recently so this should be a very interesting meeting. We’ll be sampling some of Hinterland’s year-round, seasonal and taproom-only beers.

Meeting Podcast – Dean Coffey – Ale Asylum

We keep the Madison brewery theme going when Dean Coffey, Co-Founder and Brewmaster of Ale Asylum joins to talk about the recent brewery expansion and all things Ale Asylum. Be sure not to miss this one as there might be a beer or two to sample which you won’t currently find on shelves.

Another great session with Dean as he talks answers our many questions about Ale Asylum and brewing.
