Good question! It's Nathan, but I think knocking on the door and asking for SuperSpy would be much better. Especially since I don't know any of my neighbors yet. Having a bunch of folks show up on their doorsteps with beer and asking for SuperSpy would make for some very interesting first...

Kmcogar and I met up at Punk's yesterday to discuss the first meeting. We're still thinking that homebrew at a restaurant or bar is in a legal gray area so we'll hold the first meeting at my place in Annapolis. The only issue may be parking. I live on Hill Street between the Westin and the...

Clint offered up a really good idea for a name. I've made a list of a few others. Naming the club is one of the first things that we'll need to do so let's get the ball rolling! Here is a list to get us started. Add to it with whatever you can come up with: M.A.S.H - Maryland Association...

I'm not opposed to you just bringing the keg. :)

Thanks Clint for listing the brews you will bring to the meeting. Can everyone else do the same? We want to get an idea of who is bringing what and let that dictate part of the first meeting's agenda. Unfortunately I have no homebrew on hand since we just moved here.

As I said before, I will be at Ram's Head at 6pm tonight if anyone wants to join. I will be sitting at the bar with a red "Made In Canada" t-shirt on.

Do you know specific competitions or who organized them? I would like to talk to someone that has dealt with this and find out what/if regulations apply to bringing homebrew to a licensed bar or restaurant.

The wife is out of town so I'm planning on grabbing dinner and a few beers at Ram's Head on West Street this evening. Does anyone want to join me? We can discuss some preliminary planning for the club and our first meeting.

I did some research and it looks like Maryland doesn't allow homebrew into any place that holds a license to sell alcohol. On the plus side, they don't regulate homebrew so the only regulations are the federal ones. So either someone's home or a business that sells no alcohol may be out only...

There will be lots to do to help! Right now the best thing to do is plan to be at the meeting. Also, I will try to post a draft constitution or bylaws that we can discuss prior to the first meeting. Input on that will help set the direction for the club and could really impact our future...

Sorry to be so unresponsive the last few days. I had to head out of town and just haven't had the time to post. I should be back in time for the meeting on the 17th. Did anyone talk to Punks? I will give them a call if I haven't seen anything on here by tomorrow afternoon.

So what are thoughts on the club name? I think the old Annapolis homebrew club was called the Aleing Sailors. We could become the Sailing Alers, but we're likely to come up with something better if we start spit balling now and attempt to settle it at the first meeting. Any ideas?

It looks like Thursday the 17th is set. We will see what Kmcogar can come up with in terms of location and then decide on a time. If location becomes a problem then we can meet at my place. I'm just off of West St and fairly central. The only issue may be parking but we will figure that out...

I'm thinking Thursday night is the way to go. The Thursday after Mother's Day is the 17th of May. Can anyone not make that day?

So what's the best date/time for a meeting? I think that a weekday meeting is typically best. People have plans and family obligations on weekends. Besides, weekday meetings will leave our weekends free to schedule brew-ins. Monday through Thursday is good for me and I'm partial to Thursday...

What kind of all grain rig do you have? I've primarily been an extract brewer over the years and brewed on my friends all grain rigs when I've had the time. Now that we have moved to Maryland I've decided to take that next step and build my own all grain system.

I love beer! Awesome enthusiasm! I've had some experience getting a club off the ground. My first homebrew club back in Texas was well established when I joined and that experience helped with getting a club going in Guam. A lot of other guys did the heavy lifting but I was one of the...

I've been talking to some of the folks that are with the Killer Ales but I've been out of town during their meetings. Also they seem to have most of their meetings closer to Baltimore. I have been part of some really active homebrew clubs and was thinking of starting one up in Annapolis once...

I'm moving to Annapolis. Not sure if that is near where you are. I don't know the area.

I jumped on this forum to ask if anyone was brewing in the Annapolis area and was glad I found this thread! My wife and I are in the process of moving to Annapolis right now. We're currently in a hotel in Bowie but should be in Annapolis by the end of April. I have been brewing for about 10...
