North Texas Homebrewers Association
Good Friends and Good Beer Since 1985
With the Bluebonnet judging extending into the first weekend in March, we have pushed the Brewday out a week to March 11th. Details will be in the newsletter coming out tomorrow. We just wanted to make sure our membership was aware of the date change.
Cheers.
Bluebonnet is rapidly approaching and one of the events is the Homebrew Showcase which takes place on Saturday night 3/18. Homebrew clubs attending the event will set up booths and serve homebrew from their club members, Last year NTHBA had 9 different beers on tap, including the 2nd place best of show, Petite Saison. Immediately after the awards ceremony, attendees will have the opportunity to sample and evaluate home brew from some of the region’s best amateur brewers, and cast their vote for which home brew club makes the best beer.
NTHBA will have our 12 tap kegerator on site to serve beer from our members. Our goal is to have as many of our taps filled with as many beers as possible. It does not need to be a full keg, partial or smaller (2.5 or 1.75 gallon) kegs are fine.
If you have a beer that you are willing to put on tap, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting [email protected] . Please include what style beer you will be providing and what size. Our kegerator is setup for ball lock kegs. Please let me know if you have pin lock kegs so we can accomodate.
Eric Morgan of North Texas Homebrew Supply is looking for help.

We have our club meeting next Tuesday the 8th at North Texas Homebrew Supply. We only have 4 members running for the 5 officer positions. We need one more member to run for a position for the 2023 year. The Officer job is not difficult and does not take much of your time. We would like to see some newer members with new ideas come help run the club.
