Dunno where you are at, but we are looking at getting a course going on the north side of town. Let me know if you would be interested

I'm interested. What's the plan on where/when?

Our club, Brewers of the Hood, is Based out of Farmboy Brewshop at 3814 N Shepherd Dr Houston, TX 77018.

We are trying to gauge interest in such a course now, but need to get enough people together to make the per-person cost reasonable, and work out the logistics of when. Landon, the owner of Farmboy, has a sign-up sheet at the shop for people interested in the class, to get in the loop as we look to move forward.

I think there's been some talk about this among some in our club as well (Barley Coherent out of BIY in Spring). Our monthly meeting is coming up so I'll see if there's any interest in joining in.

I am all signed up to take the class below and asked if I could share the information. This class is at DeFalco's.
