Holiday Party 1997

John and Ann Pyles hosted our last event of the year. The holiday party was a great success! Thank you so very much for having us all over. Here are a few pictures to remember the day. Sorry the pictures didn't come out better but the camera is picky at low light.

Brewpub Crawl in SF

Only a dozen or so members but a lot of fun. I tried to document the trip but ran out of light at Tornado. Pics of Pacific Coast and Dylan's. Detail article forthcoming.

St. George Spirits Tour

What happens when you distill fermented beverages? In March we were able to take a friendly tour of our local distiller in Alameda, St. George Distillery. Special thanks to Lance for giving us a first class visit

Group Brew In

Each year we get together and simultaneuosly brew batches of beer. Its a celebration of National Homebrew Day in May and I can't think of a better way to spend it. Whether you've been brewing forever or are just learning, it's a lot of fun and very informative.

Picnic

Our Summer Picnic. Time to relax and share the brew on the grass. This year we were out for the "blues" and sun in Danville. Good beer and food were had by many.

Anchor Steam Dinner

Each year, The staff at Anchor Steam Brewing Company invites the winner of their "Homebrew Club of the Year" to a steak and beer party. An informal setting with lots of friends and acquaintances. While we didn't win last year, we got several invites out of hospitality. Thanks Fritz.
