*May 2nd is National Homebrew day. Our club usually gets together at a public venue to brew and impart our knowledge to potential brewers and the curious.
* I had a chance to speak with Sean from Top Hops. If you get a chance go to their facebook page, Top Hops, and check them out. Sean has invited our club to hold it's June meeting at his farm in Goodrich and we have accepted. He will be giving us a tour of the hop yard and farm. And will be talking hops with the club. So mark your calenders for the June meeting.
* We also talked a little about Michigan Homebrew Fest. Which takes place in August. The MHF committee has held their 1st meeting of the year and I am sure details will start to trickle out. This is a great event to end the summer. Usually camping registration starts in May and goes pretty quick once it is open .Our club will have a site on the club loop for serving our brews. And we ask our brewing members to contribute some if they can. Great friends, bonfires, camping, food and great beer from some world class brewers. Dates haven't been posted yet but will probably be August 13th-16th.
