FeBREWary Meeting at Code Beer Company: Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025

We’re meeting in FeBREWary at Code Brew Company, 200 S. Antelope Valley Parkway, on Thursday, Feb. 6. At 6 o’clock we’ll have the social hour with business starting at 7 p.m. Bring some homebrew to share! Beer education to follow.

Bingo!?!

Those able to attend the last couple of meetings were also introduced to something fun we’re doing in 2025: Lincoln Lagers BINGO! We’ll have physical copies available at Code 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! Note that paying your dues before the end of January is one of the squares! There’s still time!

Night at the Stars – Lincoln Stars Hockey – Feb. 7, 2025!

This will be a game you won’t want to miss! LET’S GO, STARS!

Due to the proximity of the holidays, the meeting date has been moved to Thursday, January 9, at 6 p.m. We will be meeting at the downtown taproom of the Boiler Brewing Company.

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!

This Thursday: Entry Sorting!

We have done a lot of good work receiving and sorting entries for the Sower’s Cup next week and now we would like to invite everyone down to Jakes/Beercade Jr. to help us label everything. We will be congregating at Jake’s this Thursday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. Don’t worry if you’ve never done it before… It’s pretty straightforward and we’ll be there to help talk you through it.

Oh, and if you wear glasses or cheaters, you may want to bring them along. The printing on those labels can be pretty small.
