\"CCF05252013_00001\"<\/a>\u00a0\u2026make you happier?\u00a0 Yes, that is what one of the club members of The Villages Home Brewers Club was quoted saying in a recent article I read. With the weather being up in the 90\u2019s this past week it certainly seems like a good time to have a beer, or at the very least talk about having one.\u00a0 I have known people who have made their own wine, in fact my best friend\u2019s husband Rudy, would gather up all the red grapes he could get and retreat to his basement and made enough red wine to last him until the next year\u2019s harvest of grapes came in.\u00a0 Every night he would enjoy a glass of wine with his dinner.\u00a0 He also had a fabulous garden, but that is a story for another day. However I have not heard of people making wine in The Villages, but we have beer brewers and beer lovers that gather monthly to learn about home brewing, and even better than that to taste each others brews.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"CCF05252013_00000\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their discussions consists of sharing knowledge – of new recipes, new beers and any new places to go and try those new beers.\u00a0 They critique the beer recipes and help each other make their beers better – what went in, and what came out –\u00a0 and what to do to create a better beer.\u00a0 One member said that home brewers are a different sort of breed.\u00a0 We\u2019re all friendly, and we like to brag about what we do and our successes.\u00a0 I have two sons that got involved in the BBQ challenges, and I think they have the same philosophy – they\u2019re\u00a0 friendly too, and they are always trying something new, and yes they brag about their successes.\u00a0 I wonder how many brewers have some good\u00a0BBQ recipes too? The club is three years old and started with\u00a011 people and are now 60 strong, with 30 to 35 regular brewers, which means club members get to try quite a few interesting beers.\u00a0 If you want to learn more about this happier, friendlier, sudsier group they meet 7PM the third Thursday of the month at Sterling Heights Recreation Center.\u00a0 Salute, no I mean Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
