Homebrew Club on Long Island and Queens

[toast]

Yes. We meet next Monday. A saki tasting too. Not sure if I can make it.

Is this open to everyone?

I'd be interested in meeting up as well. I'm on the south shore in eastern Nassau. I'm a new brewer, so needless to say I have many questions!

 

[excaptn]

I am looking forward to meeting everyone on Monday. What time does it start and who should I ask for. Does this group/club have a name or web site?

Yes...I just showed up to my first meeting and they welcomed me.

Starts at 7. The meeting itself is in the small room just to the left as you walk in. Prior to the meeting the group will meet on the corner of the bar closest to the bathrooms. Look for a group not only diverse in age but in gender. The name of the group is LIFE, but most just call it the homebrew club.

I'm not going to be able to make it. Monday is my son's birthday. Please post up future meetings here in this thread. Thanks!

[excaptn]

Monday night, I will also be there!

The next BEER (Brewers East End Revival) meeting is on July 16 at around 7:30pm at John Harvard's in Lake Grove. They meet on the third Monday of the month alternating between Jon Harvard's and Brickhouse Brewery in Patchogue. Next month will be at Brickhouse.
The next LIBME (Long Island Beer and Malt Enthusiasts) meeting is tomorrow at 7:30pm at the Clare Rose Facility in Yaphank. They meet on the first Wednesday of the month. This month it fell on July 4 so they postponed the meeting one week.
The last LIFE (Long Islanders for Fermentation Enjoyment) was last night. Their meetings are at 7pm on the second Monday of the month at Black Forest Brew Haus in Farmingdale.
If you would like to meet members from all three clubs as well as members from a new club that started this year that I do not know much about, get tickets to the North Fork Craft Beer Festival on August 11. It will be at the Martha Clara Vineyard in Riverhead. I attend every year. It is a beautiful place. All clubs bring homebrew for sampling. I highly recommend this event! Information for this event can be found at northforkcraftbeerfestival.com. If distance is a concern, Tapped Enterprises has a bus going out to this event. Information about this can be found at longislandpubcrawls.com.
I hope this helps.
Enjoy.

I attended the LIBME meeting last night at the Clare Rose Facility in Yaphank. That is a huge place. We were treated to some local brews and given a full blown tour. What a great experience!
In addition to the Beer Festival at Martha Clara Vinyards mentioned above, there were some other events in September that were discussed.
On Saturday, September 8, there will be a Beer and Music Festival at the Brookhaven Amphitheater. Home brews will be served in addition to commercial local brews.
On Sunday, September 9, the Long Island Local Challenge Beer Festival with beers made from only local ingredients will be held at Garden of Eve in Riverhead.
On Saturday, September 29, there will be a home brew competition held at the Long Island Fair in Old Bethpage. The fair runs for four days but the competition is only on Saturday. They are going to require two unmarked brown 12oz bottles to be submitted for judging. It will be run according to BJCP guidelines.
As more information comes out about these three events, I will post them here.
So, get brewing!
