We will be conducting the check-in for the 38th Mayfaire Homebrew Contest on Sunday, April 10 starting at 10. All are welcome to come help. If you want to see how a homebrew contest is organized, this will show you that. And, you get a free lunch if you stay and help. No experience necessary. Bring a beer or two to share. Come help the club and have a good time.
Due to the COVID-19 virus, the 2020 Mayfaire Competition has been postponed until now! To deal with the realities of beer judging during a pandemic, we're going virtual with a slightly increased bottle count (3) and a complete throwback set of style guidelines based on the very first recorded style guidelines from 1979!
The Maltose Falcons will be conducting a series of mead classes in January. The primary purposes are to teach people how to evaluate mead. We will be teaching according the the BJCP style guidelines in preparation for a BJCP Mead Exam that will be held on Feb. 6. There will be four classes on Tuesdays at 7 PM at the Home Beer and Wine Shop. They will be on Jan. 5, Jan 12, Jan 19, and Jan 26. We'll be serving dozens of different meads and going into detail on honey varietals, melomels, metheglins, and other meads.
We will be meeting at 7PM at MacLeod's Ales in Van Nuys. Help the club plan our competitions and maintain our high standards of running great contests. The club will buy our beer and dinner. RSVP with Ed or John at vicepresident@maltosefalcons.com if you can make it.
Ever wanted to know what it's like to be a BJCP Certified beer judge? Ever wanted to bring your beer knowledge out of the realm of the causal consumer and into the realm of the almost-but-not-quite professional?! Ever wanted to leave people in awe of your vast beer style expertise?
Well, here is your last chance this year. Wednesday May 6th, 7:00pm at the clubhouse.
