The Club Needs Your Help!

We are seeking people to head up various teams here at CFHB.  

Sunshine Challenge: As the Sunshine Challenge team leader you will be in charge of helping to coordinate our largest event of the year.  This is a big responsibility and probably one of the most important.  Dedication is a must and prior event planning is desirable.
Events Team: Your duties as Events team leader would be to help plan and coordinate our various parties that we have each year.  
Competitions: Competitions team leaders would be in charge of seeking out local competitions and assisting in planning of our competitions.
Hospitality: Hospitality team leaders are in charge of welcoming new members!  This is probably one of the best jobs to choose!

If interested please seek out our officers or email officers@cfhb.org.
Upcoming Events:
March 6
Beer School / Meeting
March 26: Stout and Stogies

 
Beer School Calendar:
March: Beer Myths
April: All Things Comps
May: Cooking with Beer

Beer school is taught by you, our members.  We need volunteers to step up to bat and teach us something you find cool or interesting!  You don't need to be an expert, you just have to want to share something neat! If you want to step up please email meisters@cfhb.org or ask a board member.

Pints and Paws!

Pints and Paws is coming up March 19, 2016 in downtown Sanford.  This year we will be pouring beer again in our booth and we encourage your to come join us!  If you would like to pour beer please let us know in advance so that we can give you the information for those volunteering.  I did this last year and it was such a good time.  We took shifts pouring beer so that we could walk around and see all the vendors.

Downtown Food and Wine

 

Thanks to the Sathers, Warwicks and Kathy Plyter for being at the CFHB booth this weekend at the 8th annual Downtown Food and Wine Fest. The weather was great and John's presentation on Saturday and Lori's presentation on Sunday were well received.
We did do two 30 minute demonstrations with props to the big audience about home brewing one Saturday and one Sunday. Our team talked to a lot of potential new members on both days. Beer and wine could be bought and food was offered all along the closed off street on the north side of lake Eola in downtown Orlando. We thank all of our members who stopped by. Fun was had by all

 
Rogue Pub 3rd Anniversary


Thanks to everyone who participated in The Club Brew to celebrate the 3rd Anniversary at Rogue Pub on Curry Ford Road.  The weather was fantastic and besides brewing there was great food and entertainment 
 I know Tracy was thrilled. Thanks to Jeremy for the brewing and the great 3 gallon keg giveaway! Congrats Mike!  The 2016 board is really getting into the swing of things, we just need to remember to take more photos!
