Gonna be a busy year!

New taster glasses are on order with our updated logo (see pfp) . Come see us this summer and grab a couple! This is our only real outside fundraising endeavor.

We haven't run an ad since last year and if I knew this was going to be such an issue, I never would have done it. There seems to be no option to turn this shit off and it's driving me nuts.

Since I can't find the right answer on Facebook's overwhelmingly large help section, maybe I can summon an actual FACEBOOK HELP person on Twitter.

Michiana Festival of Beers (the one at Four Winds Field) has been cancelled for 2020.

We are sad. :(

New stickers for all those beer festivals that will totally be happening this summer!

looking up brewing yeast reviews and yikes man

[MC Brew Club @MCBrewClub]

Heads up - we're looking at a different yeast strain. WLP002 is only ~65% attenuation and I'm mocking up this recipe and it's over 1.035FG, which is way too sweet, IMO. Maybe this'll just be open to a "Stout Friendly" yeast in the 75% range like London Ale I Wyeast 1028.

Looks like Summer Sippin is BACK for 2020 on June 12th!

[MC Brew Club @MCBrewClub]

We discussed glassware for 2020 fundraising. I think I we settled on a mini-snifter but they're roughly double the cost of the mini-can we did last year. Here's my pick for this year - bonus, they're stacakble.

T-Minus 3 Minutes to VIP. We're shorthanded but who cares! #homebrew #centurycenter #southbendbrewfest

[MC Brew Club @MCBrewClub]

Come check us out at the #centurycenter tomorrow for the South Bend BrewFest 2020. We got a late invite, so we're a bit understaffed, but we'll be bringing some great beers including an Imperial Sour (shown) and a Chocolate Cherry Cordial ON TAP.
