The first sign of fall for some might be the changing leaves, but for me, it's the return of the club. We are returning with a bang. It's the fan favourite of the Red Shed Malt challenge. For those who missed the June meeting, craft maltsers Red Shed Malting provided 25 people with 4 types of their malt that they were allowed to brew with. I'm excited to taste the beer that was brewed.

The September 7th Meeting will be held at 330 Canterbury Dr. SW - Canyon Glen Rec Hall. If you judged or stewarded in this year's Roundup or attended the June meeting you should know this location well.

Parking is limited within the complex. Please don't park in any stalls that aren't marked visitor, you will likely be towed. The quickest place to park is in the Rexall strip mall parking lot across Elbow Dr from the complex. Street parking is also unregulated in the area so if you can find it, you can park in it.

Over the past couple of years we have been testing hosting meetings in other venues and 2016 will see and increase in our meeting being hosted at places other than The Barracks Room at Wild Rose Brewery. With a new program director in place we will see a bigger focus on brewing and brewing styles during the education portion of our meetings with more technical presentations than ever before. As always, where the law will allow, we will continue to sample commercial examples that relate to the style or topic of discussion and have a few appropriate nibbles along side by our consummate Club Chef Clare.

While the Yeast Wranglers club had become primarily focused on production of Beer there are a couple of other local clubs if your focus is mostly about drinking and enjoying the final Product. CAMRA has a chapter in Calgary and host several events each year which are more focused on the social aspect of Craft and Real Ale. Our Good Friends at Last Best Brewing also have a monthly Social Club that runs the first Wed of each month where again the focus is on enjoying the final product. Click the names above to be transported to our friends.

Our competition club brewers have done it again!!! For the third straight year Cowtown Yeast Wranglers have managed to eak out a win as Canada's top Homebrew Club. It was a  marathon year with maybe even too many competitions but our brewers held up strong and several of them entered each and every of the 15 competitions on the slate. The loss of package of beer on the way to one of the competitions made it look like we might not garner top spot and it was only the final event of the year that we were able to grab the top spot on the podium. Congratulations go out to all the fine brewers across this country that participated and to Jared Carlberg for winning Brewer of the year.
