Spending time as a youth in diverse cultural environments led to a natural curiosity and appreciation of the variety of experience that life has to offer for Hans. Always a proponent of keeping it real and doing it yourself, brewing beer fits right in for him.

Clare is an agricultural writer who has spent a lot of quality time where all good beer starts: malt barley fields across the Prairies. An avid cook, Clare sees beer as a great ingredient as much as a delicious beverage. Of course to her, “cooking with beer” can just as easily mean cooking with one in your hand as it does cooking with one in the pot.

A Kit beer maker for many years Neil joined the club in mid 2008 to hang out with beer geeks and learn a bit more about beer styles. After stewarding in the 2009 Round Up Neil was amazed at the quality of homebrew being produced in Western Canada. In the fall of 2009 when Canada Malting offered up free ingredients to stage an all grain competition the decision was made to take advantage of the freebie and give all grain brewing a shot.

To say he was hooked would be an understatement. Since that fateful batch in October of 2009 Neil has made 24 batches and gone on to compete in several western Canadian competitions garnering several medals, qualifying for MCAB XIII, winning his first best of show in the Edmonton Competition and making it into the top ten of Canadian Homebrewers of the Year in 2010
