What are the merits of joining a Club?

[Fetus]

yea, we brew, clean up, then bottle/keg what was done in previous sessions, as well as having the three taps going while we brew. I usually bring in some samples of what I have been doing at home to share. We have convinced the owner of the place to put a urinal in the basement bathroom.

Weeb, what club are you a member of? This one sounds like one I'd be interested in.

Yeah, it's too bad that I'm not alone here. I've spoken to others as well with similar experiences. If you do this type of ****, kindly cut it out.

Also I'm 23 so I'm kind of an outlier in the homebrew world.

Ah yeah being 23 almost certainly didn't help you (not that you can help that of course), I had a similar thing at our club. Not nearly as bad (maybe because I'm a bit older), but I think the older people half thought I was just there to party/make hooch. Once I showed I was serious and knowledgeable that's gone. I'd say give it another go and stick with it for a few meetings.

As for the why's of it, trying other people's homebrew's a great way to learn about styles and try things you wouldn't normally.
