Boston Wort Processors

POST-PONED: Clone Brew-Off with BFD
2015-02-08 12:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Mystic Brewery, 174 Williams St., Chelsea, MA, United States
Due to weather, event is post-poned until further notice
We’ve entered into a bit of a friendly competition with BFD, our neighbors to the north. Entries will be judged according to their ability to match the characteristics of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, not according to BJCP style guidelines. Entries will go into a blind judging session and the club with the best clone will win both bragging rights and fabulous prizes! First, Second, and Third place will be awarded to individual brewers.

Slither
2015-02-07 17:00 - 23:00 | Troquet, 140 Boylston St, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
For those unfamiliar, the Slither is the Wort’s annual “Black Tie Pub Crawl”. This is where people get dressed up and head out in the frigid weather to some of the fancier drinking spots in town.
This year’s theme is “Grapes around the Common” and is being held on International Pisco Sour Day… being the first Saturday in February. For the early birds we start out at Troquet on Boston Common for some wine samplers (yes, they do 4oz pours!). After that we head to No. 9 Park for pisco and appetizers (just a stones throw from the Park St T stop). From there we head to Mooo for grappa and protein if needed. Finally, for those sick of grape drinks the last stop is the Tip Tap room for beer!
Schedule:
5:00pm Troquet – http://troquetboston.com/
6:30pm No.9 Park – http://no9park.com/about/
8:00ish Mooo… – http://mooorestaurant.com/about/

Iron Brewer 2014
2014-10-12 09:00 - 17:00 | Josh’s Place, West Roxbury
This year’s competition will be held at 9a on Saturday 10/12 at Josh’s place in West Roxbury (address will be sent to active members).

Iron Brewer is our annual Iron Chef-esque competition. Everyone pairs up into teams (usually 2 brewers per team). You arrive with your brewing equipment and, once everyone is gathered, we reveal the secret ingredient. The club provides all ingredients (a few base malts, some specialty malts, hops, water, yeast, and the secret ingredient) and you have an hour to create a recipe that showcases the secret ingredient. Once you settle on your recipe, it’s time to brew! Past secret ingredients include dried fruit, Brettanomyces. and wood. Basically, you get to play around with ingredients and walk away with free beer. Once everyone’s beer has fermented, we judge the beers at our monthly meeting (probably in November) and determine who’s beer showcases the secret ingredient the best.

Iron Brewer is an all-grain competition, but not to worry if you are not an all grain brewer. This is a great opportunity to learn! We’ll make sure you are paired with an experienced all-grain brewer and we’ll have plenty of people around to answer questions. While I think everyone should compete, Iron Brewer can also be a fun spectator event. We’ll fire up the grill and have a homebrew or two during the day.

ALLEZ BREWING!
