What: April PDX Brewers Club Meeting
When: Monday, April 16th at 7:00pm
Where: Max's Fanno Creek Brewpub, 12562 SW Main Street, Tigard 97223
Hard to believe, but April's meeting is already upon us! This month we will have a presentation and discussion on Yeast, facilitated by Scott Kilgo. Liquid vs Dry Yeast, Starters, Stir Plate Construction, Harvesting and Long Term Storage of Yeast will all be covered. Should be a great time to have a discussion on one of the most important aspects of our beers, but also an area that is easily neglected.
We will also hold the People's Choice tasting for Scottish/Irish Ales, which is the May AHA Club Only Competition. We will select one member as a group, then mail them off for a judging of national club winners. Bring 'em if you've got em! Next up on the list is Porters for August, which we will be judge during July's Meeting.
As it has been popular, if you would like to have your beers passed around and discussed during the meeting, please let the board know by email

To help keep the meeting within our usual time, we will accept the first two that email.
Hope to see everyone out!

Our first official meeting of 2012! This will be a great meeting for members to voice ideas for the upcoming year; Events you would like to see, pub crawl ideas, things you are willing to put together or host, etc. We will have a visit from the Brewvana Portland Brewery Tours folks, a raffle for some great prizes that were recently donated from area breweries and shops, as well as an update and information on the upcoming Nation Homebrewers Conference. The board has made a committment, based on feedback from all of you, to provide a ton of beer for both Club Night as well as a joint hosting in the Hospitality Suite with Strange Brew. We will be discussing what is needed, and asking for volunteers to stock our booth up for the conference.
For something new, we hope to get a couple of volunteers to have your beer tasted and discussed during the meeting. If you are willing and able, please email the PDX Brewers Board @

so we can get you on the list. We will need you to bring at least Three 12oz bottles so that we can pass them out to everyone in a timely fashion, and this should be a great forum to get some feedback with those beers you need help with, or maybe something special that you would like to discuss and share.
Hope to see everyone there!!

It's that time again! We have a great meeting planned for this coming Monday, so get your rest and recuperate after all of those Guinness (hopefully not Green Bud Light!) and meet us down at Max's. Chris Dillon from the newly opened Two Kilts in Sherwood will be joining us, to discuss the details of opening your own brewery. This is a dream of a lot of us, and whether or not you're serious about someday making it a reality, should make for a great discussion! Chris has said that he would love to taste our beers, so bring some to share as well.
Also, we are still in need of a couple volunteers to bring beer in for the tasting and feedback portion of the meeting. If you have something that you would like to share with the group, email
