Let me read the disclaimer before the discussion starts. I enjoy brewing quite a bit. I also enjoy the company of other brewers plenty enough. However, I am unsure what the benefits of actually joining a club are. Plus, I don't know that I would be able and willing to commit to one night a month for a club.
I recently found out that there are at least 5 different people homebrewing in my small town. I'm sure that if I included the nearby town(s), we could have enough people interested in brewing to consider creating a club.
I'm just not sure if it would be practical for me. I get tons of info here, and I can interact with members on my own schedule, and from far away places.
But I also feel the desire to help out other who may be beginning, and to learn other techniques first-hand, and to work with others to create community brews. Also, I hear that clubs often get together and share beer and discuss it's qualities (or lack thereof..)
So what's it like being in a club?
