This years annual beer campout, the Northern California Homebrewers Festival is upon us September 19 and 20. A club only festival of homebrewers and beer lovers always impresses with quality brews and food. 30+ clubs get together from all over northern California to celebrate everything beer. It's always a great time.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04251705471385598928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188044875180949796.post-79405541452767607702015-08-20T09:16:00.001-07:002015-08-20T09:16:18.803-07:00After eighty days in the barrel, our porter has seen the light of day again. Delicious notes of Zinfindel with mild oak components. As the days go by it continues to evolve as the flavors meld together. The porter flavors of roast and chocolate were at first muted by strong wine notes but now the beer is starting to come back to the forefront as the dominant flavors. The other half of my portion I added 4 ounces of cocoa nibs to the keg. The dark chocolate is melding nicely with the wine, oak and porter. My thoughts on this would be to give it the character of a port wine. The flavors are good and it is evolving nicely.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04251705471385598928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188044875180949796.post-61525128457413943562015-04-24T08:57:00.000-07:002015-08-20T09:07:40.370-07:00Our barrel project is under way.

Linda and I and one of Joe's beers will be representing Beer Underground at the Winterfest wine and beer social 2014 this year. The Greenbelt Brewers will also be representing the home brew community. Governor Brown signed into law last year that home brew clubs can now donate beer to charity causes so this is the first opportunity to represent our club publicly in this way. This year the Runnin for Rhett group is the beneficiary of this brewfest. Check out Runnin for Rhetts Facebock page or website for more information on this great charity and the event.

The Northern California Homebrewers Festival (NCHF) is once again upon us. Six hundred like minded home brewers will descend upon Lake Francis in Dobbins, California to celebrate everything beer. A full weekend of fun and frivolity with a ten-hour festival of beer on Saturday. Clubs set up booths around the grassy field decorated according to the theme of the festival. It is a wonderful laid back festival where you can talk to the brewers about the outstanding libations they've created and gain insight on how to replicate them if you so wish. Home brewers are a very sharing community who all try to make the craft better. This years festival is September 20 through 22.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're pretty excited about the launch of our website for Beer UnderGround. We're a small homebrew club with a big kick! Founded in 2012, by like minded homebrewers in the Sacramento Valley, we're hoping to improve our homebrewing and beer judging skills one brew at a time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Congratulations to BUG member <strong>Joe Cruz</strong> for taking <em>First Place</em> in the 2013 California State Fair Homebrew Competition in Category 21A: Spice, Herb or Vegetable for his <em>Cacao-Nibbed Oatmeal Stout</em>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are super excited to brag about BUG and East Sacramento Brewers' member <strong>Annie Johnson</strong> for taking the <em>Homebrewer of the Year</em> Award at the American Homebrewers Assoication National Homebrew Competition. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the 35th National Homebrewers Conference Annie won with her <em>Lite American Lager</em>. An impressive feat considering how difficult lagers are to brew. She is the first woman to win the award in 30 years and the first African American woman ever to win. Congratulations Annie!</span><br />
