Welcome to the official website of the Tucson Homebrew Club. Guests of the site will find plenty of information here about the art and craft of homebrewing and also local and regional beer-oriented events. If you’re interested in brewing your own beer and live in the Tucson area, we’d like to extend an invitation to join us for a monthly club meeting and see what we’re all about. Our club is open to novices, experts, and anyone in between. Our primary goal is to promote the time-honored tradition of brewing beer and share and improve upon our member’s knowledge and appreciation of the brewer’s craft.
Club members who are registered and logged in with the website will have access to additional information, functionality, and resources. Be on the lookout for new menus and new lots of new content. Anyone with questions can contact a webmaster or a club administrator by clicking here.

Hi All-
Just a quick update:
Due to the proximity of the Oktoberfest Campout, we decided to move the meeting up 1 week, to give a little extra planning room. The new date is August 31, 2010. Same bat-time, same bat channel. (7 pm at Boondocks Lounge.)
Cheers!

or
The wicked ah-some goodness of Kölsch, American Wheat, German Hefs, and Saison.
Kölsch (Alaskan Summer Ale)
The Appelation “Kölsch” is protected by the Kölsch Konvention, which limits production to breweries within the city of Cologne and defines Kölsch as a “light, highly attenuated, hop accentuated, clear, top fermented vollbier.” (Vollbier is a German classification similar to a session beer.) Examples brewed outside Cologne are usually called "Kölsch-style" or "Summer Ale" (or some such nonsense) and can be hard to spot. Some kölsches display a little bit of mineral, sulfur, grape, or wine-like character in the aroma and/or flavor, but these characteristics are not a requirement for a good example.
