Dc Homebrewers Club

Cherry Blossom Homebrew Competition. An annual homebrew competition open to members and non-members to receive feedback from certified homebrew judges on their beer. We received more than 100 entrants who would have received critique on their homebrew on everything from how true-to-style their beer was to how to improve their brewing process. It was to be held in late March of 2020, so we had to cancel due to the pandemic and refund more than 60 entrants and their entry fees. The paypal fees were not refundable.

Expenses: $1K

Fundraising BBQ. An annual barbeque to educated the public about the hobby of homebrewing. Through raffles, barbeque, homebrewing, demonstrations, and beer provided by some of our best members our goal is to introduce future members to homebrewing. We regularly see an increase in members after the event and our current members are able to try each other's beers and learn about each other's brewing processes. We were unable to host due to the pandemic.

Meetings. Members get together once a month to taste each other's homebrewed beer and exchange ideas, knowledge and information. We regularly have educational demonstrations or lectures about the brewing process and beer styles. Due to the pandemic most of our meetings were held via Zoom.
