On Tuesday, February 21, the club met at PA BBQ for the porter competition. Eighteen club members came and over two hours we tasted 10 different variations of porter - from traditional, lighter brown porters (or London porters) to coffee porter to smoked porter to robust porter.
A big thanks to Ray for opening up his restaurant to us after hours and for providing some great barbecue and snacks to enjoy while tasting.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, March 13 at 8pm at the Coney.

August Club Meeting - Our First Intraclub Competition!
On Tuesday, August 9, we will meet at PA BBQ (2045 S. 6th St.) at 8pm for the Indiana, Pennsylvania Alesmiths (IPAS) first ever intraclub homebrew competition.
In May, it was suggested by club member Bill D. that we should all brew the same recipe and have a big tasting to see how each of us approached brewing. Bill handed out a recipe for a rough clone of Geary's (both extract and all grain) and we decided to set August as D-Day (drinking day).
Not sure yet how many people took up the challenge, but probably at least 10 folks will be bringing their beer for tasting on Tuesday. Though we've been meeting at the Coney on a regular basis, club member Ray S. (owner of PA BBQ) offered to host this special event after the restaurant is closed for the evening. It promises to be an education!

September Homebrew Club Meeting
Oops! It's been a while since this has been updated. My apologies! The club is still going strong, however. In April and May, we had meetings with 20 members, and July and August came close with numbers in the high teens. Great to see such a strong turn-out for the club!
This month, we have a slight change in our venue. One of our members, Ray, is also owner of PA BBQ - now the only BBQ restaurant in Indiana. The club will meet on Tuesday, Sept 14 at PA BBQ, starting after 7pm. This is a BYOB event, whether homebrew or a commercial example. Ray will provide a small buffet of ribs, pulled pork, and some other goodies, and asks only for a $5 payment to cover the cost of food. Thanks Ray!
Next month, we'll be back to the Coney as usual.
