It's that time of year again when we fondly remember our compadre Doug King. Doug was a brewer's brewer - always there to lend a hand to the club or another brewer. He was also fond of experimentation and was well known for his crazy experiments (loafs of rye bread, potatoes, tortillas - all in the mash) and his love of lagers. He won the 1996 California State Fair for his Dougweiser.
The Falcons annual competition committee meeting is this Monday, Nov. 21 at 7PM. We'll be meeting at Hand Brewed Beer at 9771 Variel Ave. in Chatsworth.
