I mentioned before that there are no real home brew stores in my immediate area.  The closest are at least an hour away.  It hasn’t been a big issue, I have traveled to several of those stores and they have all been pretty nice.  I don’t mind the drive, just don’t have a lot of free time these day.  Oh well.

Fortunately, I really liked two of the home brew stores I visited, Mr. Steves in York, PA and Keystone Home Brew in Bethlehem, PA.   What’s more, both of them have home brew clubs.  I am half way through my year of beer and have never been to a home brew club meeting.   None of my friends are interested in home brewing, they enjoy the beer I have been making but have no interest in doing it themselves.  My wife is the only one that really puts up with my endless talking about beer and home brew and what I have learned but she has her limits.  I have brew friends that I have met digitally but none that I have met in person.

Hopefully, that will all change tomorrow.  After work tomorrow, I am driving out to York, PA and attending my first home brew club meeting.  I don’t know what to expect but since there will be beer involved, it should be pretty fun.  I am taking 6 bottles of my ESB with me for them to try.  I liked the ESB that I brewed but didn’t love it.  Hopefully I can get some good tips.
