About the Club
The Salt City Brew Club (SCBC) is an organization of Homebrewers and beer aficionados in the general Syracuse area. The purpose of the club is to share ideas, recipes, techniques, and stories all in the effort of each member brewing his or her own best beer.
Meetings
The club normally meets every second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm.
Each meeting is broken down into three parts:
1. The Lecture/Discussion
The speaker for the month will hold a discourse on a pre-selected topic of general brewing interest. Varying each month, we cover everything from technique, to equipment, to beer styles. The forum is then opened for anyone to add to the discussion, or share their own points of view.
2. The Style of the Month
Each month we highlight a specific beer style. While some brewers take style guidelines as a general "rule of thumb," other take them very seriously. A general overview of the style, its characteristics, and popular commercial examples leads directly into the third and last portion of the meeting...
3. The Tasting
Yes! The style highlight inevitably leads to the tasting. Several commercials examples are gathered by volunteers, and used to experience the style in its intended way -- consumption!
