Meetings are held monthly at Mother Road Brewing Company, 7 S Mikes Pike in Flagstaff, on the second Wednesday, 7pm. Meetings consist of discussion of group business, a possible educational component, and a 'Style of the Month' homebrew competition. Anyone may bring appropriate style beers to enter in the monthly competition, points earned each month will go towards a cumulative 'Homebrewer of the Year' award. New for 2024, only each brewers' top 8 entries will count towards the final scoring, to allow brewers that miss a few months to be able to still compete.
Meetings are also a good way to talk to fellow brewers for advice, and you may bring homebrewed beers not part of the competition for feedback, or unique commercial beers to share.
