For any of you guys that are not sure about joining a club, I must say my experience last night was great. Obviously it all depends on the club, however getting exposure to first hand knowledge on brewing was incredible.
We sampled beer from many of the brewers, including a few members who are BJCP national judges. We also had the founder of Allagash Brewery from the Sebago Lakes region come in to talk about Rye styles.
I randomly bumped into a buddy from highschool. Back then I wouldn't have known who Charles Papazian was, or think to ask my highschool buddy if that was his uncle (same last name). After we caught up on things post-highschool, he told me I probably have his uncles books. *jaw drop*
Pretty crazy what you get out of a Homebrew club meeting. Obviously your mileage will vary. Who knows: maybe John Palmer's cousin is a member of your local club.
