MARCH 2022 ALES MEETING

Good Day ALES Members,

It has been a while since the website has been updated, but here we are now, updating regularly.

March 2, 2022 Meeting:

  • Topic: Smoked Malt

  • Beer Style: Smoked Beer

  • PLEASE NOTE: Meetings will now be at 7:00 PM at the Bushwakker Club Room

A few time that upcoming events:

  • Big Brew Day - we have determined that the ALES Club will be hosting the Big Brew Day in May this year at Pile O’ Bones. By popular demand the BBD style is a Russian Imperial Stout. We will be setting a firm date soon. This year we’ll seek advanced payment to secure a carboy to ensure we brew the right amount on the POB system.

  • April is IPA Month and we are doing the single hop, brew your own, event. If you do not have access to the “discussion” email list but want to participate, email Brennan Miller. For hop information before you choose, check out Prairie Brew Supply.

  • The ALES Open will continue as it did in 2021 with a regional competition where the top 3 members will send beers to the national homebrew comp. We’ve determined that this event will be in June. Make sure you start planning your beers now to submit for judging.

NEW EXEC MEMBER

We are happy to announce that the ALES Exec team has added Mederic Lanoix. He’s been a regular to the ALES meetings and has the knowledge to assist in any discussion that is going on. Here’s a bit about Med:

Mederic bought his first homebrewer's kit in 2007 and brewed through University while studying microbiology. In 2012 he got his first professional brewing position at Les Brasseurs du Nord, one of the largest craft breweries in Quebec. In January 2019 Mederic moved to Berlin, Germany to attend the Certified Brewmaster course at the historic VLB institute. After getting his diploma, he came back to Canada late summer 2019 and was hired as Head Brewer at the Warehouse Brewing Company in Regina and rapidly got his ALES Club membership card. After two years in the club, he joined the executive committee in February 2022. Aside from delicious craft beer, Med loves hockey, formula 1, art galleries, long walks on the beach and rooms full of kittens.
