I live in Phelps and am interested. Please pass along some contact info. Also belong to a homebrew group based in Rhinelander. The meetings are a bit of a drive. An hour on the road in winter is usually no fun!

 

[SaisonMan]

We usually meet at 6 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at Rocky Reef Brewing Company in Woodruff. We have a style of the month (October will be Extra Special Bitter), and everybody tries to bring in examples, whether it's homebrewed or store bought. Message me your email addresses and I'll get you added to the mailing list. We'd love to have you. And if you know anybody else who might be interested, send them along. Or just show up.

@SaisonMan I'm not sure about your clubs desired activity level, but sign-ups to participate in the Homebrew Alley at Fond du Lac Brewfest are open. It is a great opportunity to interact with other homebrewers and clubs within the state.

 

[SaisonMan]

That sounds very cool. Thanks for thinking of us. How does the Homebrew Alley work?

About 15 homebrew clubs from all around the state bring and serve their own beer for like 4 hours. My club (the Manty Malters of Manitowoc) usually brings 6 or 8 beers (about 3-5 gallons of each). Servers get in free. They also have wine, mead, cider, lots of those too. Bring whatever you like, it's a great way to meet a lot of like-minded homebrewers. You can learn more and register here:

Nice. Thanks for the info!

I belong to the Green Bay Rackers and the beer fests we participate in are about the as dmtaylor states.

I'm sure we have crossed paths at some point. I checked out Woodruff and that's a bit if a hike for me. I'd certainly like to attend others club events/ meetings. With winter getting close probably not so but next summer surely!

 

[SaisonMan]

That would be great!

I'm trying to add A little more spark into our home brew club, so if you have anything you'd like to share I'll make it gets mentioned at our club meetings.

 

[Red over White]

I live in NC, but spend some time in the summer at my place in Sawyer County. Next year I'm going to make an effort to drop in to one of these meetings.

Hey, we could use some ideas, too! We drink beer and talk about beer at our meetings. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

We do a lot of that too except there's more wine and spirts available now. Several members are distilling besides beer and wine.

Our meeting this last Saturday we talked about beer judging opportunities, setting up an educational committee and mentioning up coming brewfests.

If you check out rackers.org you can see what's going on. If you can't find something, let me know and I'll do my best to get it.

I would have guessed Packers football and deer hunting were popular topics up there.

I’ll check it out!

Woodruff is too far for me. If you ever meet in the Eagle River area for a little road trip I’d love to meet up!

Update:
On the Green Bay Rackers website, rackers.org, you can see a listing of upcoming contests and brewfests.

Also, new to the site are interviews with club members. An interesting way to get to know the brewing backgrounds of folks in the club.

Excellent website. Lots of good stuff.

I judged the last one before Covid.

I'm with you on the TTO, not sure what's up with that. There's was a large gap of time during the plague that I stayed away of any club events so I'm not sure what happened.

They are forming a educational committee, which they had many years ago, so maybe that might spark a renewed interest. I want to see the club expand more into topics of interest for folks wanting to learn about beer and brewing. At times it seems just an avenue for sharing homebrew, which is fine but throw in some education too.
