Ann Arbor Brewers Guild Online

The Ann Arbor Brewers Guild is a group of homebrewers and beer lovers who meet monthly to taste and talk about beer and brewing. New members are always welcome. The meeting place moves around to a different member's house each month, but is always reasonably close to Ann Arbor, MI. You need not be a brewer to attend! Where is this month's meeting?

Members come from communities all around south-eastern Michigan, ranging from Kalamazoo, to Fowlerville, to Troy. We span the range of home-brewing experience and methods, from the first-timer with one (or fewer!) batch under his or her belt, to brewers who have been at it for 15 years and more. From kit brewing to 50+ gallon all-grain batches. If you want to learn how to brew better beer, whatever your current level, we are the group for you.

AABG is on the HBD map at Frappr.com. See also Dan Morgan's HBD map, which includes some AABG member locations.

Membership is $15 per year, pro-rated to December. Dues can be paid at the meeting. Membership benefits include the monthly newsletter.

The E-mail club contacts are Spencer Thomas and Jeff Renner (info@aabg.org).

If you prefer the telephone, call Jeff Renner at 734-665-5805, or Rolf Wucherer at 734-662-8476.
