Carolina BrewMasters
"Orville never flew without his own
brew"
Who are the Carolina BrewMasters?
We are a non-profit club whose members enjoy
making, tasting, sharing, and enjoying beer. Our members live in or around
the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan area and range in experience
levels from first time homebrewers to experts in judging and making great
homebrews, Ciders and Meads ! We meet at 6:30pm the first Wednesday of each month at
various Charlotte restaurant locations for regular meetings
where we discuss
upcoming club activities and enjoy a sampling of homebrewed and
microbrewed beer.
We also meet occasionally at
a member's house for a brew session or a beer tasting. This is a great opportunity to learn
about different tricks, methods, and gadgets that other homebrewers use.
In addition to these regular monthly activities, the club also holds
annual parties (Octoberfest & Christmas), organizes a national
homebrew competition, and various other activities.
Visitors are always welcome! And membership is a
measly $15, which quickly pays for itself in discounts at local brewing
supply stores. Please contact our
VP
of Recruitment for more
information.
The Club's Calendar
will keep you up to date regarding our activities.
If you have any questions or comments just let
the Webmaster know.
The CBM Homebrew Safety Announcement.
Firstly, we are a Homebrew and Beer Appreciation club, not a
Beer Drinking club.
So:
-
Please allow club member homebrews to be sampled first
once we break from the business portion of the meeting.
As much as we like and appreciate your bringing
commercial beers hold off for about 45 minutes or so
before cracking them to give club members a chance to
get feedback on the fine ale’s and lagers they’ve
brewed.
- We
want you all to get home safely. Please refrain from
overindulging at this meeting and all CBM sponsored
events.
-
Remember to bring a small sampling cup for yourself to
each meeting.
-
Only small tasting glasses are appropriate for sampling.
A 6 oz. or smaller glass should be used (exhibit samples
of acceptable and unacceptable glassware). If you are a
new member or visitor please come see me and will try to
get you a sampling glass.
- If
you are approached by someone looking for you to pour a
sample of your beer into a pint glasses (or large soda
cup), you can show your intelligence and good taste by
NOT making that pour. Its best if you don’t make us
speak to you privately about this.
-
You may be able to get a small 3 oz. disposable plastic
cup from the bar if you don’t have a suitable glass or
we may be able to supply one.
In
closing: Please pay your tab at the end of the night, and
remember to tip your wait staff if you received good
service.
