| Join us on Tuesday, June 18th at 7:30 pm at Fort Nonsense in Randolph. We have an really fun and open-ended club-only competition (CoC) in store for everyone. This month’s CoC is – Brew any beer, any style and ferment it with Safale US-05. US-05 is a dry version of the famous Chico strain that put craft beer on the map. It is such a versatile yeast strain that is well suited to a wide variety of beer styles that go well beyond it’s namesake American Pale Ale. For those entering, remember to bring a six-pack, 3 bombers, or a growler of your entry so we have enough to pour for all of the attendees. This is going to be a really fun and exciting competition. Even if you don’t have an entry, come join us to sample all of the fun creations and enjoy some fine beers from our hosts at Fort Nonsense. We can’t wait to see you there. |
