DOZE club members, it’s the most wonderful time…for DOZE beer! It’s a time to don some holiday cheer, share a great meal and bring out our best holiday beers, meads, and ciders with other DOZErs, as we celebrate another DOZE Members’ Christmas Party! Monday, December 9th, 6:30-9:00 pm, at the Lindsay Wildlife Experience in Walnut Creek.
This is the main event that keeps this club funded and we want to see you all there.
A huge thank you to all participants in this year's California Homebrew Competition (CHC), its 46th year!
