What a great Tuesday I had yesterday. I shot down to Lake
Lotawana right after work to
Cullun's place. Normally if I am going to
Lotawana it's for a fancy dinner at
Marina Grog and Galley (highly recommended), but this time it was for beer. We jumped on
Cullun's boat and headed out to sea, well KC sea. We joked that instead of seagulls they have
lakegulls.
No I didn't just go there for some lake action, it was the 3rd Tuesday of the month which means one of
KC's homebrew clubs,
ZZ Hops, was to meet. I figured I'd mosey on down and check out a meeting and it was very convenient because it was on the same lake. Neither of us had been to an official
homebrew club and I wanted to see what it was all about.
Everyone at the meeting was incredibly nice and I liked the low-key atmosphere they provided. It could have been a little more organized, but overall a good meeting.
Apparently they rate
homebrew brought in so first thing was they slapped a number on my
Tripel Hose I brought. I think there were around 7 or 8
homebrews and about 6 different
meads which was fun. Some of those guys even kept their own bees. The brews were really good and I think everyone appreciated my
Tripel which was nice to hear.
While I have no ties to a
homebrew club yet, I do enjoy learning about them and what they represent. I think they are a good idea to get a little more serious about your hobby.

Try the Canoe Club at Gate 2 on Colbern Rd. next time you're out--Thursday nights the house band plays, and they're good! They also have a few good beers (it's a lot more casual and less expensive than the Marina).
