Club Social on April 17 at Code Beer Co. – May Meeting on May 1 at White Elm Brewing Co.

On Thursday, April 17, join us for our monthly social at Code Beer Co., 200 S. Antelope Parkway, Lincoln, NE. No agenda, just beer. On Thursday, May 1, we’re meeting at White Elm Brewing Company, 720 Van Dorn St., Lincoln, NE 68502. We have a few new members this year, so we thought it would be good to mention that bringing homebrew to share is encouraged and pre-approved for all meetings. For the club socials, however, we want to support our local breweries and taprooms; we do not have permission to consume homebrew at those. For the club socials, we’ll meet at 6 and go until whenever. For the meetings, we’ll kick off the social hour at 6 o’clock and get on with business starting at 7 p.m. Bring some homebrew to share! Sign up on the sheet when you get there! Please reach out with any questions about the meeting or the club. Cheers!

The Big Brew — May 3, 2025 — Code Brewing Co.

Held on the first Saturday in May, the Big Brew for National Homebrew Day is an opportunity to fire up the kettle and raise a glass to the greatest hobby there is—homebrewing! About the Big Brew, in 1988, May 7 was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day. The American Homebrewers Association created Big Brew as an annual event to celebrate National Homebrew Day around the world. The Lincoln Lagers will meet up for wort from Code Brewing Co. on Saturday, May 3. More details to come soon!

Bingo? Bingo!!

Those able to attend the last few meetings were also introduced to something fun we’re doing in 2025: Lincoln Lagers BINGO! We’ll have physical copies available at next meeting. It’s fairly self-explanatory and should hopefully create some opportunities to add new or interesting things to your 2025 homebrewing experiences. Plus, it’s a chance to win gift cards to local breweries! BINGO!!!

Jason is a master homebrewer, certified Cicerone, National level BJCP beer judge, super cyclist, and all around cool guy. We have worked with Jason on numerous projects in the past, including Diabolical Iridescence, Inkberry, as well as our THAT! Series of hazy IPA’s – among many others. We welcome his knowledge of the beer industry, extreme creativity, attention to detail, passion, and near-perfect palate. Come hi-five Jason at Boiler’s 9th Anniversary Party on April 5, 2025.

March Meeting at White Elm Brewing Company: Thursday, March 6, 2025

We’re meeting in March at White Elm Brewing Co., 720 Van Dorn St., Lincoln, Nebraska, on Thursday, March 6. We have a few new members this year, so we thought it would be good to mention that bringing homebrew to share is encouraged and pre-approved for all meetings. For the club socials, however, we want to support our local breweries and taprooms; we do not have permission to consume homebrew at those. We’ll start at 6 o’clock with the social hour and get on with business starting at 7 p.m. Bring some homebrew to share!

Speaking of bringing homebrew to share, we’re trying something we haven’t done for a while: Spring cleaning! If you’ve been brewing for a while, you know you have a few old bottles of homebrew just takin’ up space. Maybe you haven’t been brave enough to crack ’em open or the label fell off and you can’t remember what it was… Bring ’em to the March meeting and we’ll open them together, compare notes, and see what’s in those “drink or dump” bottles.

Please reach out with any questions about the meeting or the club. Cheers!

Bingo? Bingo!!

We’ll talk about the 2024 Sower’s Cup and other beery stuff. As always, new brewers are welcome! Cheers!

The Sower’s Cup! Link to the Medal Winners! Thanks to All!

We had a fun-filled week of beer judging and charitable giving and wonderful, wonderful beer at the tenth annual Sower’s Cup! This year saw 400 entries from 88 entrants. We tested the palates of 45 judges and placed 94 entries. Three breweries will be doing scale-ups from this year’s medal winners: Boiler Brewing (Kim Theesen, Historical Beer), Corn Coast (Nick Langtry, IPA) and Stone Hollow (Deborah & Marc Prichard, Cider with Herbs/Spices). Long-time Lincoln Lager Doug Finke won the Lincoln Lagers’ Legend award. (More info coming soon on Doug!).

In addition, this year we found a creative way to share the extra bottles of home brew. We created the Sower’s Pup! We invited the general public to attend after the judging was all done. All proceeds — over $1500! — went to The Farm: Senior Dog Sanctuary. Food was available from Meta Modern and Rutabagas.

We have lots of sponsors and contributors to thank for their continued support to this event. Click here to see the big list of businessess. We couldn’t do it without them and everyone of YOU who pitched in to help. Thanks again. Cheers!
