Alright TBHC'ers, now that we are a club of certified losers, I suppose it's time we start drinking like one! Since this is an online community of homebrewers, we have some challenges that other clubs don't have and we have some advantages that they wish they had.
Here's what I see going on, feel free to share your comments:
1A) We've got a good group of homebrewers with all levels of experience
1B) ...and then we have stakem
2A) We don't have any membership fees
2B) No one can be accused of embezzling club funds
3A) We won't have monthly meetings (will we?)
3B) We won't have mooching members who come for free beer and never contribute
4A) We don't charge competition fees!
4B) Every competition will require you to ship via FedEx or UPS
5A) We will get to sample each others homebrew during competitions!
5B) We have no prize support, we are broke (see 2A & 4A for details)
Alright, alright, enough ********. Seriously only wanted to announce two things.
1) We are actually certified now with the American Homebrewers Association. So long as you are a member, I would say feel free to list The Talk Beer Homebrew Club as your club for competitions in the future.
2) I would love to get our first competition underway over the next 3 months. To get the maximum number of participants, I think we would want a quick turnaround style beer (determine via Poll). We would need to determine how we plan to judge, shipping arrangements, and time frame. My thoughts on the matter are here.
Cheers,
Matt
