Savannah Brewers League

Homebrew Club |
|
Welcome |
|
The Savannah Brewers League is an informal group of fellow homebrewers with a passion for making beer, cider, mead and wine. Founded in 1993, the club serves as a haven for homebrewers throughout the Low Country and Coastal Empire in and around Savannah, Georgia. The purpose of the club is to share ideas, recipes, techniques, and stories, all in pursuit of making excellent beer. We meet the first Wednesday of each month beginning at 7:30 p.m. downstairs at Moon River Brewing Company at 21 West Bay Street in historic downtown Savannah. All levels of Zymurgists are welcome — from beginners to advanced all-grain experts. We are an AHA-registered homebrew club. Come join us for a session! |

If you go to Atlanta, the first question people ask you is, 'What's your business?' In Macon, they ask, 'Where do you go to church?' In Augusta, they ask your grandmother's maiden name. But in SAVANNAH, the first question people ask you is, What would you like to drink?"... -John Berendt, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil |

You know you're a homebrewer if... |
|
|
. . . you don't think that 10 gallons of beer is a lot. |
|
|
. . . you've ever used a mop on a ceiling. |
|
|
. . . you see the acronym R.D.W.H.A.H.B. and know what it means. |
|
|
. . . it started out as a hobby then ended up as a habit. |
|
|
. . . you have more varieties of beer on tap than your local bar does. |
|
|
. . . you hate to wash the family dishes, but think nothing about standing over a sink for hours cleaning empty bottles. |
|
|
. . . you buy beer according to ease of label removal or the type of bottle it comes in. |
|
|
. . . you can name at least 10 different varieties of hops, but can't name 10 congressmen. |
|
|
. . . you refuse to pay $8.00 for a beer in a restaurant because you can make 5 gallons for that much. |
|
|
. . . the only time you clean your kitchen is just before brewing a new batch. |
