Brewing with Bigfoot

The National Homebrew Conference "Brewing with Bigfoot" will be held in Bellevue next June and registration is coming up soon. Check out the American Homebrewers Association website. Last year almost 2000 homebrewers attended. A few WSB club members are interested in participating in 2012, especially in the "Club Night" event - which is reserving a space along with all the other homebrew clubs in the Hospitality Suite. "Club Night" is usually the Friday night and lasts about 4 hours. The homebrew clubs bring beer to share - or mead or cider.            If you are interested in BWB (Brewing with Bigfoot) - there will be a get-together on Sunday Oct. 9th at 3pm at Hale's Alehouse in the Silverdale Mall to discuss our theme, brews we want to offer, a future date for judging those brews and how many kegs ot bottles will we need for June. Look for us in one of the back rooms or back patio. Bring a notebook plus any info you might have on the NHC.              Start brewing for Bigfoot!

So start brewing your winter themed beer, mead, cider or whatever.      Our next WSB meeting is scheduled for Oct. 22nd and the Nov. meeting will be our Learn to Homebrew event. The Dec. meeting is also our "Bring a Beer - Take a Beer Exchange" and our elections for next year's officers.        There will be a WSB get-together (most likely at Hale' Alehouse in Silverdale) soon on a Sunday afternoon to discuss the WSB participating at the National Homebrew Conference in Seattle next June. What will our theme be? Which brews, meads or ciders? We would like to have a judging soon - maybe in November?        Thank you for your contributions to the WSB - we are stepping up our game with the Cask Fest, BJCP judging for the Fair, Beerstock and with the upcoming Homebrew Conference.

2011 Barleywine Meeting

Once again it is time for our annual barleywine meeting. This is the day we get together and sample a ridiculous number of barleywines. In accordance with tradition, we will hold this meeting on the Sunday of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend, which makes it the 16th. Breaking with tradition, the meeting will be at a different location than usual. This year it will be at the Clear Creek Interpretive Center.

Here are the details:

Sunday, January 16th, noon 'til six
Clear Creek Interpretive Center
Potlucked Barleywine Tasting

Please arrange for transportation if you imbibe over the legal limit.

http://www.clearcreektrail.org/Interpretive%20Center.htm

Located across from the mouth of Clear Creek in Silverdale, WA. From Silverdale Way, travel east on Bucklin Hill Road .5 miles, over Clear Creek. Turn left onto Mickelberry Road and immediately left again into Mariner Square parking lot. Travel through the parking lot to the stop sign.  Cross Levin Road into Creekside Office parking lot. The Clear Creek Sa'qad Interpretive Center is located in the red barn at the far western edge of the parking lot. Please park in this lot only on weekends & evenings.

December Meeting

The West Sound Brewers December meeting will be hosted by Jack McKenzie on Thursday, December 16th, beginning at 7 pm. We hope to see everyone whose schedules don't allow them to make it to weekend meetings!

We will be having the beer exchange (bring a beer/take a beer: bring a special home-brewed or commercial beer and everyone who brings one will take a different beer home with them. Feel free to wrap it up so it's a mystery what it is!).

We will also select officers for the next year. Offices are President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Treasurer and secretary usually end up being multi-year terms so chances are we won't be selecting new ones, but if anyone is interested in either position make sure you show up and put your hat in the ring. Remember, if you don't show up, your chances of being voted into office increase significantly!

Jack lives in north Illahee/south Brownsville. Contact Us for directions.

The November meeting will take place on the 20th at Brad & Dina Ginn's home in Poulsbo.

Feel free to show up any time after 11:30, but get there early if you want to witness the entire brewing process.

Brewers at any level (extract, partial mash, all-grain) are welcome and encouraged to bring their gear and participate in the demonstration. If you'd like to do that, or for more information and directions to the meeting, please Contact Us and we will get in touch with you.
