Does anyone know of any Homebrew clubs in New Jersey and if so are the fairly large and active? Please Post if you know of any.
Where did you hear that the Whales were full? We technically have more members (55) than our meeting location can support but we average about 35 people at a meeting so for now we're still accepting members. We have people that travel from as far South as Toms River and several others from Ocean and Monmouth counties. I don't want to spend too much time knocking startup clubs but they'll have a long way and a lot of growing pains before they hit a rhythm. Then again, if good things are going on, I'd join a bunch of them.
Wow, I wish people wouldn't spread misinformation. There may be a time where we have to reject new members due to size but it hasn't happened yet. I don't mean to sound like used car salesman for the club but I just really like it. 95% of the people who get their procrastinating asses (j/k) out to a meeting tend to join that night or the following meeting. I too was hesitant to show up.
FYI. JJ's "support" is letting us use their upstairs dining room for meetings once a month and letting us buy their food and beer. Of course, finding a meeting location is half the battle with a club.
Bobby, I'm not arguing with you - I'm just telling you what someone told me in casual conversation. I'm sorry I even brought it up but I thought you might want to confirm/deny. And as far as job/kids it's called priorities, not procrastination. Please don't judge people until you know their situation. What may work for you may not for others. I'm glad you like it and I'm sure I would too, but it needs to fit in with the rest of the commitments I've made. Lastly I wasn't trying to assume what "support" JJ's gives you, just saying help is help.
I work at BA and we are trying to start a club. 1st we are trying to get a feel of how many people would be interested in joining. We actually are having a beer tasting Sept 19th if anyone is interested. Only $10...There will probably be more talk about the status of the club then.
Hold on man, I'm not taking an attacking tone with you. There's no reason to get defensive. Please try re-reading what I wrote and think tongue-in-cheek lighthearted banter because that's where I was at when I wrote it. Call off the dogs. If you make it to a meeting, that's great. I'm not trying to twist your arm.
Any more info on this, i.e. people, location? I'm right in that area, and have been looking to join a club, as I'm just starting brewing. I'd love to find a mentor, brothers in armsBurlington Cty wants to start one...
We are having our first meeting tonight at High Street Grill in Mount holly.
Starts at 6:30, feel free to email me at [email protected] if interested. We wont know if it will be a casual or serious club until we all sit down and talk over the next week or so (since everyone cant make it tonight). we have around 15 members off the start without actually advertising it yet...
Cheers
John
