Announcements

  • A group of SCH brewers visited Victory Brewing Company on 6 March and grilled GM Matt Krueger on Victory's process, ingredients, beer, and equipment! Matt's usual 1-hour tour ended up taking over two hours, and he later reported that he had a blast showing us around!

    Plans are being made for our next field trip, sometime this summer.

  • Congratulations to all of the brewers who participated in this year's event, and thank you to all of the judges, stewards, and sponsors who made it possible! 252 entries were judged, and the scores were excellent - competition was intense. Results can be found on the SCH-ABC main page!

Membership

Brewers and non-brewers alike are always welcome to inquire about membership in the club. The name aside, it is not necessary to be a homebrewer to join - an interest in and appreciation of good (and bad) beer is all that is required, though it is likely that after a meeting or two you'll want to join in the fun yourself! There are no gender restrictions, but members must be over 21 years of age and humans at the time of their birth to participate.

Although we can't list the super-secret rituals here, the membership process looks something like this:

  • A prospective member contacts the Club Librarian to introduce him or herself, or is contacted by a friend who wants to introduce them to the joys of mid-week drinking
  • Those who inquire about membership may be asked to participate in a brief evaluation interview, and only minimal amounts of biological samples will be taken.
  • New members sponsored by a current member may have the interview waived, at the discretion of the President.
  • After the interview, the Club President may accept the new member or refer the decision to the membership present at the next regular meeting, at his/her discretion. A simple majority of those present is sufficient to accept the new member.
  • After the new member is branded, he/she will participate in the traditional "dingo rassling" and keg toss before initiation begins. (Just kidding - or am I???)
