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 11, 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.
Saturday, December 9th, 2023 – 1pm – 4pm Dust off your Santa suits and ugly Christmas sweaters because it’s time to head to Downtown Martinez for some holiday cheer! Downtown Martinez & Co. is hosting the annual Santa Beer Crawl on the streets of Downtown Martinez.
As always, DOZE will be participating. Sign-up sheet is available in the club’s “events” Slack channel. You don’t have to contribute a keg to sign up to pour at the booth, but if you donate a keg you get a ticket to the event which will allow you to go to the other locations on the crawl and sample the brews.
A big “Thank You” to all the members of DOZE, Bay Area Mashers, Mad Zymurgists, and the Draught Board who came out and made the Multi-Club Picnic a success and whole lotta fun!
We hope to se you all at NCHF!
After a long hiatus –what with the pandemic and all– the club once again held a Big Brew, kindly hosted by Max and Rochelle, on Max’s 3 barrel brew house. The recipe was a perennial club favorite: Granny’s Tipple barleywine.
Granny’s Tipple, or Granny as “she” is affectionately known, is an award-winning English-style barleywine, generally falling in the 9-10% abv range. The recipe was devised by club member and former club president, Robbie Proctor.
Hey, fellow DOZErs, the Northern California Homebrewers Festival is quickly approaching, Sept. 15-16. It is one of the best events of the year. Dozens of homebrew clubs pouring their best beers and putting out their best food offerings, and -unlike so many other festivals- we get to pour our club’s beers for an audience of fellow brewers! There are still plenty of tickets available (57 for Lower Camp –where “Camp DOZE” is– and 226 for Upper Camp, as of this writing), so if you’ve been on the fence about going, this is your chance!
