Is there any interest out there for these bottles? I’m looking to get ten 12 bottle cases from northern brewer, but the shipping is going to cost a lot. I contacted them about shipping a pallet (1800 bottles) or a half pallet (900) of these bottles here and that will cost 325-375 for the shipping. That comes out to $17 a case.
If there is enough interest, I can organize a group buy.
Let me know If you wan a case or ten.
I want 10, so 65 cases to go.
Don’t forget to register by may 30th! There is still plenty of time to brew something for the competition on July 1st.

Anyone already have their line up of beers ready to go?
After brief discussion in the comments, the vast majority are in favour of holding the meeting on it’s regularly scheduled day, April 28th at Monkey Paw. Start time will be 1pm.
For those unaware, we came to the decision at our last meeting that unless otherwise decided by the club, our meetings would be held on the last Saturday of the even months at Monkey Paw.
So the next meeting was supposed to be scheduled for April 28th, which would be this Saturday. If everyone still wants to hold it on that day, that’s fine with me, but we could alternatively push back a week to give everyone more time. Let me know what you think.
Hi all, just a quick message to apologise for the downtime over the last week or so. I upgraded a few packages on the server and didn’t think to check after doing so that the site was fine. Turns out that one of the plug-ins on the site isn’t compatible with something, I assume the newer version of PHP. It wasn’t an earth shatteringly new version of PHP that I updated to, so I’m not sure why it broke, but it did and now the plug-in is disabled.
Howdy lovers,
We’re now open, but with fairly limited hours:
FRI: 4-7; SAT-SUN: 9-2
These hours will only be for the next few weekends, then we’ll have something a bit more standard.
I’ll be out of town the weekend of March 31st, but the illustrious Andy Wadon will be here covering the shop.
For now we have a good selection of grains, hops, and the yeast basics (just WL for now). Within the next month we’ll be expanding more and more…
Spread the word!
2911 El Cajon Blvd #2 – San Diego, CA 92104
Across the st from Rudfords, a few store fronts west of Pacific Liquor.
What was the official decision on when we will meet? Or did we drink too much after making that decision?
Hi All! I am making a trip to Germany soon, and was hoping to hop over to Belgium for a quick visit to Westvleteren. I’m looking to get a crate of whatever’s available, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience or knows anyone with any experience ordering from them. I’m hoping there’s an easier way than renting a car and driving there…
thanks for any help!
So we’ve signed a lease at 2911 El Cajon Blvd SPC 2.
That’s about a block west of Tiger!Tiger! We’re between 30th and 29th on El Cajon next to Pacific Liquor. There is also a new coffee roasting place going in next door to us. They also look promising. They already have collaborations lined up with Hess and Ballast Point (Organic Ethiopian Coffee with Sea Monster Stout). Monkey Paw should do something with them 
I’d love it if you all ‘liked’ us at Facebook, and told all your brewing buddies. We’re shooting for mid-March, but we’ll see. Some distributors are taking their dandy time.
Once we’re organized, it’d be awesome to host a CHUG meeting their with bottle share.
Also, now’s the time to start telling me all of the things you’ve always wanted in stock nearby, but couldn’t find, or was too expensive elsewhere. Cheese, wine, vinegar, beer, coffee, books, spices, salts, latex, etc… I’ll do my best to make this your own personal workshop. That’s my goal here. You’re the brewmaster, I am your Alfred…. or Robin… depending on your persuasion… and how well you persuade me… I guess I could also be the guy that invents things… but my degree is in history, not engineering… so I can probably tell you about cool things that were invented before I could actually invent them.
So, who’s all going? As much as I’d really like to, especially since it’s so close for Rochele and I, we are taking a hard look at our finances and trying to decide if it’s worth going. I have a feeling a lot will depend on if any of our CHUG brethren are making the trek up our way.
So, who’s in?

Our first club meeting of 2012 will be on Feb 4th at Monkey Paw, starting at 1pm. We are planning to discuss setting up a semi-regular meeting schedule, so make sure you come to weigh in on your preference!
