Our club enjoys social events like a National Homebrew Day celebration, summer picnics, a Christmas party, an Oktoberfest celebration, and small group brew sessions. To learn more about the craft of homebrewing, Carboy offers brewdays for small groups, discussions on equipment and techniques, and seminars led by experienced brewers or commercial brewmasters. Of course, we also enjoy the sharing of our beer with friends and comparing our beers to the hundreds of commercial examples available. Carboy was established in July, 1995 after working closely with TRUB homebrew club in Durham for six months. We now have over 70 members who support our club and all activities. For a partial list of our most recent events, please check our calendar which gives up coming events and a list of traditional programs for the club. The club normally meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month at the B&Y Restaurant in the Koger Executive Center in Raleigh. If you have a question about the agenda for the current months meeting, please contact one of our officers. Membership dues are currently $15 per calendar year. For information on how to JOIN our brewing club, please fill out a Membership form or e-mail the Finance Director below. BB&Y RestaurantBB&Y Restaurant is located on the first floor of the Caswell Building at 3700 National Drive, in the Koger Center off Glenwood Avenue in west Raleigh. Owner Nick Jones allows CARBOY to meet monthly at his restaurant when we don't have picnics or field trips scheduled. BB&Y is open for lunch each weekday. We encourage members to visit BB&Y for a relaxed informal meal. Nick has allowed us to host and cater previous Christmas parties and our annual Shamrock homebrew competition. We have held both of these events at BB&Y in the past and the club was very pleased with the facility , the food, and Nicks entertaining personality. As with most restaurants, the owners accommodation of customers is critical to success. Please let Nick know you're from CARBOY when you visit his restaurant. A map is provided for your convenience in finding Nicks BB&Y Restaurant. Tell Nick you saw him on the Web. MAP CARBOY Officers/Executive Committee
