Brewers' list [General]

2008 Jan 24
There have been a few questions to me in PM about my mention of this list. If any of you are interested in making your own beer, wine or mead, then this is the list for you! OK, it's mainly beer, then mead, and a bit of wine.

We're Canada's biggest homebrew club, and Canada's only Virtual Homebrew Club. The Members of Barleyment : barleyment.wort.ca/

We have strong contingencies in Ottawa, New Brunswick, and Toronto areas, with a smattering of others from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. A large percentage of us are Foodies and as such we often discuss food on our list.

Every spring in Ottawa we have "Big Strange Brew" where we all get together to brew a crazy amount of beer. We have the grill going, smoker, and it's usually a celebration of food as well as beer. In June of every year we have what has become the Mother of all Homebrewing events in New Brunswick known as Big Strange New Brunswick Brew. We rent a circa 30 acre campground with lodge (huge walk-in fridge), cabins, waterfront and so forth. This year it will be close to a week-long event for those who wish to stay that long.

There are no membership dues. Basically if you are on the mailing list, you are a Member. If not, then not.
