As promised, we will head north of the 401 for our August social! For this month, we’ll meet at Rouge River brewing with no schedule other than bonding over beers.

Since this is a casual social evening, there will be no guest speakers. However, please feel free to bring your own homebrews to share this time! We are excited to have a special guest from New Zealand joining us with some of his own homebrews.

Don’t forget to bring your tasting glass!

While you are catching up with fellow club members, please remember to support our wonderful hosts. Grab a pint or two from Rouge River’s excellent draft lineup to enjoy during the night, and be sure to pick up some cans to go before you leave!

See you all there! Cheers!

Congratulations to the Spiced Beer Competition winners!

With summer officially here, we’re taking a break from regular meetings but not from socializing. For this month, we’ll meet at Bickford brewing with no schedule other than bonding over beers.

Since this is a casual social evening, there will be no guest speakers and no official homebrew bottle sharing this time around. Just show up, grab a pint(s) from Bickford’s draft lineup, and catch up with fellow club members.

See you all there!

(And for everyone asking for a spot further north, I promise we will head north of the 401 for our August social!)

Our June homebrew meeting is just around the corner, and we have a packed schedule that you definitely do not want to miss. Mark your calendars for June 8th because we are diving deep into the world of cider and finally seeing the results of our spring experiments.

Join us for a presentation by Alex who is a true cider expert and currently serves as a cider maker at Thornbury Craft Co. Once we wrap up the cider presentation, it’s time for the official judging for our Spice Competition.

Be sure to SIGN-UP for structured tastings if you’d like some feedback on your latest brew.

Also, please don’t forget to patronize our hosts!! Rorschach Brewing offers a wide selection of fine beers to go so don’t hesitate to grab some especially if you don’t get out to see them as often as you’d like!

You Drafted. You Didn’t. We All Drink.

Whether you went home with a bag of carrots, and a prayer, or wisely sat out and watched others make questionable life choices, we’re all about to level up how we use spices, herbs, and vegetables in our beer!

Join us for a presentation by an actual spice expert, who has no idea what we did at that draft and frankly might cry when they find out.

Come for the knowledge. Stay because your lemon pepper saison needs help.

I hope everyone crushed their January fitness goals. Between the shoveling and the slip-and-slide walks, we’ve all trained for the winter Olympics! Hopefully, all that fun times is behind us and Wiarton Willie got it right!

For our February club meeting, we’re going to be back at Rainhard Brewing Co. This month’s presentation topic is still being worked on. This post will be updated as soon as we have confirmation. Apologies for the delay.

Water: You’ve drank it, you’ve swam in it, heck, some of you have probably even BATHED in it (at some point in the distant past). But did you know you could BREW WITH IT TOO?!

It’s time for our annual January tradition of diving deep (see what I did there?) into the world of water chemistry, and we are happy to have GTA Brews Member (and former club President) Eric Cousineau back to give us an updated presentation!

It’s been a very eventful year of beer brewing, competitions, club meet-ups, world events and happenings. We’ve come a long way, and now it’s [finally] time to chill out a bit, relax, and have a few beers with friends. That’s right, it’s the GTA Brew’s holiday social get-together. This is one you DON’T want to miss – fellow club member and homebrewer-gone-pro Andrew McCready has invited us into his dojo at Bickford Brewing for the celebration once again. Grab a beer on tap and some cans to go!

Also be sure to SIGN-UP FOR STRUCTURED TASTINGS if you’d like some feedback on your latest brew. This is a great way to get a judge’s feedback prior to (or without) the hassle of registering for a formal competition.

Other than that, there’s no presentation this month, this meeting is all about hanging out, reminiscing about old times, sharing brews and talking beer.

Don’t forget to bring your tasting glass! And we’re giving out special bonus high-fives to anyone who wears something particularly festive to the meeting.

Don’t forget to patronize our hosts! Avling offers a full kitchen, if you’re hungry and a wide selection of fine beers to go so don’t hesitate to grab some especially if you don’t get out to see them as often as you’d like!
