OTMP -June Meeting 6/19/24 – May Meeting Recap

Untitled.jpg

Summer months and heat are upon us. If you're not like Jim, where it's all lager, all day, all year long, then this is the time of year most get excited. German Pilsners, Czech Lagers, Modelo, Hamm's, High Life….whatever your fancy – get out there, soak up the sun and enjoy your suds.  Time for 14ers with celebratory beers at the top, yard work with a “pat on the back” pilsner after, or a cute little bike ride in your 180 logo'd sponsor spandex suit.  Having just got my new brewery up and running, learning the quirks and new process, I'm 15 gallons and 2 brew days in.  I plan on getting some more “practice” in this summer.  This is just in time because it's just about time to start thinking about doing your Marzen biers for the seasonal festivities this fall.


Cheers!

AHA Club Night (October 9, 2024; 6:30pm-9:30pm)
Details are still coming out and more information will be provided as I get them.  This is free for us to participate in.  We must brew and provide kegs of beer to serve on the night to attendees that showcase our club.  We are responsible for decorating, providing serving equipment and serving our beer.  Here is some of the information we know:
  • 6:30 – 9:30 Location: We’ve secured a wonderful brewery location near the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. (DBC Production facility on 44th and Jason St.)
  • Clubs are responsible for bringing/shipping their kegs and providing all dispensing equipment. Delivery dates TBD.
  • 21+ only, and all attendees/club representatives must be AHA members.
  • Clubs must follow the Event Entry Policy and the AHA’s Code of Conduct.
  • Booth space sizes and how booths are divided is TBD.
  • Electricity is not provided.

AHA Membership:
As many of us are members of the AHA we get benefits from being members, from discounts, to early ticket releases we all now have another perk. OTMP is now a registered supporter of the AHA; meaning that if you use the discount code OTMP at checkout you will receive $5 off an annual membership as well as the club will be given $5. Feel free to share with anyone looking to join the AHA. This can be an easy way for those of us that annually renew to also roll some extra cash back to the club.

May Meeting Recap:

Cole was a great host.  My first time visiting his beer garages.  Yes, both.  Great beers were had by all.  A little rain scared some away, but even Jim stayed late!  I personally enjoyed seeing his brewing setup and talking to Cole (Co-founder of C&C Beer Factory) about managing the brewing software.  Appreciated the tasty sausages and snacks.  Thanks Cole!
