Happy Brewing All. I have been brewing for a little over a year now. Started with just beer kits for maybe the first 6 months. Now I have branched out and started making my own recipes. Love every minute of it and constantly have 2 brews in fermenters and 1 conditioning. Have made some great beers and a couple not not so great beers, but that is the fun of it! Happy Holidays

Ooooh, I don't know. Just did a post-Christmas holiday dinner for 10. Sous vide a beef tenderloin (sear finished on a 700F grill) topped with mini-crab cakes. Goes great with a Flying Dog "Dead Rise" clone, brewed with Old Bay seasoning.

Yeah, I've been known to drop a few $$$s at each of those places. Chris at Md. Homebrew has been giving me a 10% loyalty discount for so long I'm surprised I haven't bankrupted her yet. They do a lot of brew classes and seminars. Of course Flying Barrel used to be the only on-premises homebrew facility in Maryland, though I think Annapolis Homebrew also does on-site now.

Dumb question. Is there a MoCo brew club?

Should we start a MoCo brew club?

Beersyndicate.com lists 9 clubs in Maryland from Baltimore (2) to Westminster to Rockville to Frederick to Cumberland. The only one I'm familiar with is Frederick Order of Amateur Maltsters (F.O.A.M.), but I've heard of activities that others sponsor, especially C.R.A.B.S. in Baltimore.

Clubs are definitely a great way to connect with other brewers of all abilities and experience, and to learn and improve your brewing skills.

You've got BADASS in Silver Spring.
BURP has meetings at varying locations over the larger DC and surrounding area.

If there's enough momentum, sure, go for it, MoCo!

We also have The Free State Homebrew Club Guild, a coordinating organization for MD homebrew clubs that also hosts its own events.

And there's a Group Grain Buy on the NorthEast edge of DC, a tad south of Takoma Park.

Actually I misspoke. That was only the FIRST page of listings.

There are 32 registered brew clubs in Maryland, from the Eastern Shore to Cumberland. So there's sure to be one near you. Cheers!

Here's the MD Homebrew Guild's map showing various MD homebrew clubs and their headquarters. Not sure how up to date it is.

For some clubs, such as BURP, meetings may be hosted throughout the serving region.
For most it's usually in the same location. Such as C.R.A.B.S. always meets at Heavy Seas.
 
Olney is right down the street from me. Might have to check it out. Very interesting! Brookeville is really nice. The Brookeville Beer Farm is great. Also Elder Pine is awesome. Around the same area.

We stopped going to Brookeville when it turned into a day care center.

We're at EP pretty regularly, prolly 3-4 times a month. Waredaca, which is right around the corner form EP is fantastic. We're there regularly too.
