A few friends and I decided to start a homebrewing club in Chicago...we realize there are other clubs out there, but felt that they were not in the areas where we lived - mainly downtown, west side, and northside of Chicago.
We also wanted to offer something that is at a premium to many people in a city, space...a lot of folks want to brew but can not because of space or landlord restrictions. The group we formed, CHAOS, is setup to be a community for brewers (as well as those who would like to learn to brew or just love beer) in Chicago both online and offline. We are working on building out space to host meetings and allow those with "restrictions" to brew freely.
We are run purely by members and hope to have more sub groups formed...so far we are sharing recipes in a group and growing hops. But, would like to form sub groups for things like beer trading, beer/bar night group, beer tastings, etc. There are a few members interested in barrel aging to....hopefully we can get a group brew going and fill a barrel to do a barrel aged beer.
