April 21st 7pm - The Sterling Pig Brewery, Media, PA
At the February BOMB meeting, Dr. Matt Farber, University of the Sciences made an announcement that Lallemand is sponsoring a BOMB Club brewing competition. Lallemand representatives will be present to judge the BOMB brewer entries and select the winning beer. The winner will brew at the University of the Sciences lab and have their beer featured at the BOMB booth on club night at this year's Homebrew Con in Pittsburgh, PA. 20 BOMBers have signed up for the competition. Come join us at The Sterling Pig Brewery.  That's right...it's National Beer Day in the US of A! On this day in 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act into law and ended the prohibition on beer production and sales. The signing of the act lead to the eventual repeal of the infamous 21st Amendment and the lifting of moral across the country.
It is rumored that FDR said after signing the Act, "I think this would be a good time for a beer!". Americans celebrated by piling into pubs and taverns and the result was over 1.5 million gallons of beer being sold that day. You can read more about the holiday here.  Celebrate the legalization of Homebrewing on May 7th by exercising your right to be an independent brewer! The American Homebrewers Association is organizing a national day of brewing. You can pledge your commitment and get a sweet deal in return. By signing up to brew, the AHA will give you a $5 discount on your new or renewing AHA membership. In return, the AHA makes a small donation to our club for each new or renewing member. Sign up today!
Members of the Band of Media Brewers poured at the 2022 Winterfest in Kennett Square, PA on Saturday FEB 26. The temperature was cold, but the beer enthusiasts gave our brewers a warm reception. It was a sold out crowd for this year's festival and we had an opportunity to share our knowledge, passion and well...our beer. The crowd was very complimentary of the homebrew line up being offered and many came back for 2nds, 3rds and 4ths! BOMBers brewing for this year's festival included Kevin Meyer, David Higgins, John Ponte, Jake Wilson, Adam Ritter and Dave Bill. Many thanks to the Winterfest crew, festival attendees and BOMB volunteers (like Andy Poole) who all made this year's festival a huge success!
4 BOMB members placed in local competitions recently. We salute you...

 The BOMB has the opportunity to pour at Kennett Winterfest on February 26th. This is a really fun opportunity to share your beer with others and receive great feedback. We have three tickets available for anyone who volunteers to brew/pour, and we may be able to get 1-2 more depending on interest. Please consider participating and representing our club.
Note the sign-up sheet mentions brewing demo. We will not be brewing onsite, but if you'd be willing to bring some of your gear and discuss brewing basics, that would be great. |
