May Meeting

Normally our May Meeting would be tonight, but it's been a busy month and frankly, I forgot to send out an announcement. So we are pushing back the meeting to May 22nd at 7:30pm. The brewing topic will be IPAs. The meeting will be at my house, if need directions just email me thomas_vincent[at]yahoo[dot]com.

National Homebrew Day

Saturday approaches and with it National Homebrew Day. NAH will be joining Homebrewers Outpost to celebrate by participating in the Big Brew. This event features thousands of homebrewers brewing the same recipe on the same day all over the world.

We will be brewing for Big Brew at Homebrewers Outpost, 801 S Milton Rd starting at 12 Noon and running approximately until 4pm. If you ever wanted to learn how to brew your own beer this will be a great opportunity to learn. If you already brew, it's a chance to enjoy the afternoon with your fellow homebrewers.

Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Welcome to NAH's home on the Web

We were all shocked at Northern Arizona Homebrewers to learn that they have the internet on computers now, so we figured we join up. More seriously we will use this as a site for the short term until we get a permanent page established.

Northern Arizona Homebrewers is a group of homebrewers from Flagstaff, AZ and the surrounding communities. We were founded in August of 2005. We have had a few group brew days, some beer tours, and a lot of fun. We meet typically on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm, more often than not at Homebrewers Outpost our local homebrew shop.

The club is looking forward to a busy next few months with the Big Brew approaching, a tour of a local beekeeper, and running our first ever competition the Mountaintop Homebrew Competition July 14th, with entries due by June 30th. More details to follow.

If you would like more information on the club please contact Thomas Vincent (aka me) at thomas_vincent(AT)yahoo(DOT)com.
