Dale recently had a fall with fractures He is in rehab at Deerfield and is good spirits.
Our speaker was Phil Desenne, the owner and head brewer at Turgua Brewing Company. He recently moved to the area from Boston where he taught at Harvard in the area of educational technology. He considers himself a "technobrewer" and has been brewing beer for 30 years. Turgua is a farmhouse brewery in a small garage on 5 acres in the Fairview area. He shared with us about the work involved in getting it started and how he is bringing the community together by using local products and farmers. Some of the flavors he will be using in his beers include melon, chanterelle mushrooms, sweet peppers, purple yams and pumpkin. He hopes to open his brewery in February.
