Do you love beer? Have you had a hankering to learn how to brew your own? Well we have the class for you!

The Maltose Falcons teach a basic Brew 101 class the second Tuesday of every month. For just $5 and 3 hours of your time, you will be instructed by experienced home brewers how to brew your own tasty home brewed beer using the basic equipment  and ingredient kit sold at the  Beer Wine and Cheese Making Shop. How easy is that!

The Maltose Falcons board members are going to be brewing the annual "Board Brut Brew" this Sunday at the Home Beer Wine and Cheese Making Shop.  This is a very special beer reserved for club only events and occasions. It will be bottled using the same process as champagne, making it very clear and sparkling. There are no sign ups for this event, and no board members will be keeping the beer for their own consumption, just "baby sitting" the beer as it ferments. After all, it belongs to our club.

Once again it looks like good ole ethanol works by causing us to miss out on details we normally obsess over:

The September shop brew is set for Sunday the 26th. Our President, Steve Cook, will be leading the brew crew. He is going to brew up his Mayfaire Best of Show winning "Ballaholic Hefeweizen." This beer is brewed using a single decoction mash to give it that great malty body and taste. If you have not tried this beer, believe me it is awesome!

Save the date, and come party in the pines at McGill Campground, near Mount Pinos.
