Hello All,

Congratulations to Harry Anderson, winner of the Grandfather electric system!

Greetings NTHBA. Reminder that tomorrow, we are having our monthly brewday at the home of Brian and Melinda Beyer. They are in Carrollton at 2117 Rheims Dr, Carrollton, TX 75006. Map HERE.

We will get started around 9AM and conclude sometime before 3. You are welcome to come out and brew, else come out and share some of your homebrew and camaraderie. Following the brewday, the Beyer’s will have their pool open for an after party. So bust out those Speedos if you care to…on second thought, “regular” swimming attire would be appreciated.

Grainfather Raffle:
Tomorrow will be the raffle for a practically brand new 110V, 9.25 gallons capacity Grainfather Electric system. You may still purchase tickets either during the brew day or online HERE. If you buy your ticket online, please add your name and email address in the “order notes (optional)” box so we can email your ticket number.

NOTE: you do not need to be present at the brew day to win, as long as you buy your ticket you can win!

Please come out and support the club if you are available.

Cheers!
Smitty

Coming up this Saturday, May 4th, is the May brewday in honor of National Homebrew Day. Appropriately enough, it will be hosted by North Texas Homebrew Supply. Several brewers will be brewing and lunch will be served. We will get started when the store opens at 9am. Come hang out for a little while or longer, and as always, bring some of your homebrew to share.

North Texas Homebrew Supply is located at 17811 Davenport Rd Suite 11, Dallas, TX 75252. Map is HERE.

If you want to brew, or have any questions, please shoot me an email at [email protected].

Cheers,

Unfortunately, unless you are a duck, today’s current and future weather throughout the remainder of most of the day is not conducive to doing much of anything outside. Thus, after in depth discussions with host Jason Garland, and we have decided today’s brew day is cancelled.

Tomorrow may present a better conditions and opportunity for Jason and his team to brew the pale ale they were planning. If so, I will post another message and people are welcome to stop by his house.

Let me know if you have any questions. Try to enjoy this wet miserable day by visiting a brewery.

Thanks!
Smitty

Reminder, this Saturday, April 20, is the NTHBA April brewday. Jason Garland is our host. He and two others are brewing a pale ale. At the time of this posting, we have one additional person brewing. There is a possibility of rain, but we will have pop-up shelters for protection from any precipitation. We will get going around 9AM and lunch will be provided around noon.

Jason’s address is 3122 Meadowood Dr., Garland 75040. Map is HERE.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me at [email protected].

Cheers!
