September 2026 MASH Monthly News

Join us on Tuesday, September 15 at 7:30 PM at Twin Elephant Brewing Company in Chatham for our monthly meeting.

🌾 Brewers Dual Duel: Weissbier 🌞

Come judge who has the more refreshing, fluffy, quaffable German Wheat with the right balance of clove and banana yeast character. This month it’s a dual duel as Ray and Don square off against Jack and Kyle in the fight for the finest Weissbier.

🔬 MASH Lab 🧪

Board Member Eric Blaine will be bringing beer for a MASH Lab discussion where we compare two beers to figure out what variable was tested and discuss similarities and differences between two beers that have just a single variable different between them.

🔥 Meet the Brewer: Tom Nielson 🍺

Tom Nielson of the soon-to-open Emberside Brewery will join us to discuss their pending brewery launch and the process of opening a new brewery in NJ in 2026.
