- I recapped the HeadQuarters pouring station at the Gilroy Downtown Beer Festival.
The Barber Academy was a welcoming and generous host for us to set up our pouring station.
Guests enjoyed the 6 beers we served.
All in all a good time.

- We decided it was time to set some club homebrew challenges for 2025.
 - So set the following club challenge schedule.
– March 2025 – Mosaic
Any beer style, the judging criteria is to select the best one.– June 2025 – Mead
Check out the BJCP Introduction to Mead Guidelines to learn more about mead.
And you can learn about the various types of meads from the BJCP MEAD STYLE GUIDELINES.
I will discuss making and judging meads, probably in February.– August 2025 Kveik, not Voss
Brew something with one of the available Kveik yeast strains- but not Kveik Voss (too pedestrian).– November 2025 – Holiday Beer
Think spiced, barrel aged, winter warmer, the sky’s the limit.
Check out the BJCP 30C. Winter Seasonal Beer guideline for more ideas.
