The Carolina BrewMasters is a non-profit club whose members enjoy making, tasting, and sharing beer, mead, and cider.
Our members live in or around the Charlotte, NC metropolitan area and range in experience level from beginner to expert at making great home brews. The club meets at 6:30pm the first Wednesday of each month,where we discuss club activities, hold educational presentations and enjoy a sampling of home-brewed beer.
We also hold monthly brew sessions at a member's house, which presents opportunities to learn about different methods, systems and gadgets that other home brewers use. CBM members also regularly enter home brew competitions, including our own US Open held each May in Charlotte.
In addition to these regular monthly activities, the club is the organizer and driving force behind the annual Oktoberfest beer festival held each fall. Oktoberfest is one of the largest festivals in the country and donates most of its proceeds to needy charities and non-profits that devote their energies to helping others.
Visitors and those curious about home brewing are always welcome. And annual membership dues are only $25, which quickly pays for itself in discounts at Alternative Beverage, our local brewing supply store. Please join us at a future club meeting or contact our VP of Recruitment for more information.
Prost!
