We’re meeting at American Beer Equipment this month!
Date: Wednesday, April 13th, 2016
Time: 6:00 – 9:00pm
Address: 2001 SW 6th Street (map)
Check out photos of their new space here: http://americanbeerequipment.com/newbuilding
Agenda includes a special beer tasting!
Last month our good friends at Crane Brewing sent us home with a case of Première, a 6.7% amber saison, which was their first production batch in the newly-built brewery space! Première was brewed on an ABE Brewing System, so it seems only fitting to enjoy this beer at ABE and share it with their team!
Homebrews are welcome. ABE is providing sandwiches/snacks for everyone to enjoy.
