Become a PALE ALES Member!
Homebrew clubs are a great way to meet fellow brewers; exchange techniques and knowledge; discuss styles, judging, flavors; and of course, just have fun! We feel that our club is one of the best in the region, and can offer you the previously mentioned benefits, and a lot more. Some of the benefits of being a PALE ALES member:
- Monthly meetings, which feature world-class brewers (and their beers!). Past speakers have included representatives from breweries such as Brooklyn Brewery, Rogue, Independence Brewing, Flying Fish, High Point, River Horse, and others.
- A members-only discount (5%) at Princeton Homebrew (located at 208 Sanhican Drive in Trenton, NJ 609-252-1800). In addition to featuring a great selection of supplies, owner Joe Bair is also a great source of brewing information. The 5% discount is good on just about everything in the store with exception of the Blichmann equipment.
- An outstanding annual homebrew competion.
- Workshops on brewing techniques, detecting off-flavors, and other topics
- Constructive evaluations of your homebrews by experienced homebrewers and certified judges.
- Tasting styles (for example, a rye bock), which are not readily available commercially
Of course, the most important asset of a homebrew club is its members. Our members have a wealth of experience in judging, grain and extract brewing, and brewing techniques. One of our members won a gold medal in the recent national AHA competition. Another of our members won the Sam Adams Longshot competition for their Molasses Coffee Stout. This beer also won a gold medal in the World Beer Cup as well.
Membership is only $30 per year or join as a family for $45 per year. Memberships renew on January of each year. If you are a new member, your dues paid after June will get you the remainder of the year and the next one. As you can see, you get quite a lot of value for your money.
