November meeting (Elections!)

Club, Meeting,

Our November meeting will be Wednesday November 20th, 7:30pm, at Bentwater Brewing in Lynn. This meeting will be our annual elections meeting; nominations for any of the positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, or Webmaster are welcome at the meeting, or by email to secretary@wort.org. Please refer to the bylaws for further details. 

Logistics tips from our hosts: “We are a very hidden brewery. Enter the “Healthy Pet” parking lot and our brewery is on the right past Lou’s Exhaust. Do not park in front of Lou’s Exhaust (he has signs everywhere). You can park in front of the brewing or anywhere that says Bent Water Distribution. If you drive past the brewery, there is also space to the right past the brewery that people can park.”

They are about 1 mile from the nearest station on the Newburyport/Rockport commuter rail and just steps from the Lynnway served by a handful of bus lines.

September Meeting

Club, Meeting, , ,

Our September meeting will be Tuesday, September 17 @ 7:30 PM.  We’ll be hosted by the Wort’s own Garrett at Jack’s Abby in Framingham, just in time for Festbier season.  The meeting will be held in the old Springdale taproom at 102 Clinton St.  Parking will be in the lot at the corner of Clinton and Bishop.  The main Jack’s Abby taproom and kitchen will be open for those who want to come early for dinner and pints.  All are welcome.  No homebrew or outside commercial beer in the taproom, but is ok in the meeting venue.  Reach out to officers@wort.org for more information on the meeting and access to our club Slack.

August Meeting

Club, Meeting

Meeting tonight, Wednesday, August 14 @ 7:30 PM in Medford.  Given the beautiful weather, we’ll be meeting outside on Vince’s new patio.  There will be discussion about the New England Homebrew Jamboree as well as our abysmal web site and social media presence.  If you have an opinion, show up and share it.  All are welcome.  Bring homebrew or commercial examples for sharing.

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated

Hello world!  The Boston Wort Processors are still alive and meeting in person.  In fact, this year marks our 40th anniversary!  Keep an eye out for future announcements on the special events we’ll be hosting…and brewing.  It’s going to be a party of a year!

Our March meeting is being held tonight (March 14, 2024) at 7:00 PM and we’d love to see everybody…especially the old timers.  The theme tonight is mixed fermentation (but you can bring anything), so bring both homebrewed and commercial examples if you have them.  We’ll be having a special screening starting at 8:30 PM of the movie Bottle Conditioned on B&O’s awesome audiovisual setup.

Boston NHC Round 1 Judging Postponed

Club

To all entrants and volunteers for the Boston regional first round judging of the national homebrew competition,

As many of you have heard, the national organizers at the AHA have taken the difficult decision to postpone all activities related to the competition. Therefore, all of our scheduled judging sessions have been postponed as well. Most of us on the local organizing committee have entries in the competition and we’ve already put a lot of work into running it, so we are all disappointed that it has come to this.
 
The circumstances around the Covid-19 outbreak are developing fast so it is hard to say what the coming weeks will bring. For now, we are retaining all the entries pending more information from the AHA. We will keep all of you in the loop, and we appreciate your patience in this unprecedented situation.
 
Stay healthy, and remember to relax, don’t worry, and have a homebrew.
Cheers,
 
Matt Dirckx
Judge Coordinator, Boston NHC R1
President, Boston Wort Processors
