Thanks again to everyone who made it out to our annual creative competition. There were 36 entries this year and some very creative ones at that!
You can see the full list of scores on the Club Creative Competition page, including the Top 3, and the honorable mentions.
December Meeting
The next meeting will be this Tuesday December 3rd at 7pm at Torque Brewing. Remember to bring your off-the-wall beers as it’s the Club Creative Competition!
We hope you’re all looking forward to tasting all of the interesting brews.
New “Home”
We’re happy to announce that Torque Brewing is now the official “Home Brewery” for the Winnipeg Brew Bombers! This change comes as a result of the exceptional growth of the club over the past several years. This growth brings with it new challenges, not the least of which is finding a space that can accommodate us on a regular basis. This doesn’t mean we are saying goodbye to Half Pints – they will continue to host the season opener and windup BBQ every year. This also doesn’t mean that every meeting will be at Torque – we are always working to include variety by holding meetings at new/interesting locations around Winnipeg.
Website Refresh
As you can see, the website has undergone a minor refresh. All the same articles and posts are still here, and you may see some additional changes in the coming weeks.
The competition awards ceremony has been moved to Stone Angel Brewing Co. (formerly at Torque). The date still this Saturday (Nov. 2nd) at 7pm.
Come on out and be part of the fun, even if you didn’t enter! Let’s pack the joint!
Hi everyone! Our next meeting will be at Little Brown Jug (336 William Avenue), November 5th, at 7pm.
Jeremy Grisim, Head Brewer at LBJ, will be doing a talk about their quality control processes, as well as doing a demonstration of yeast counting!
Please note that we cannot open our homebrew while their doors are open to the public. After the public doors are closed at 9pm we are good to open our homebrew. So if you’re willing to hang around, you can sample at that time.
The October meeting will be taking place October 1st, 7pm, at Torque Brewing (830 King Edward Street). There will be a presentation from Dan Molinski showing us his “evolution” as a home brewer, including the various brewing equipment he’s used.
We’ll also be announcing the chosen style for this year’s club kit, based on the results of the survey we sent out to the member email list. If you haven’t filled in the survey yet, make sure you do it soon! If you’re not on the email list, contact us to get you added.
See you all next week!
This season we’re letting members choose the style of beer for the club kit.
The kit is for the Club Style Competition.
The options are:
Cream Ale
Bier De Garde
Belgian Pale Ale
Rye IPA
Keep an eye on your email as the survey will be sent out soon!

Hey Everyone,
I hope your summers have been going well! I hope there was much brewing done, I know I’ve got a few done myself. 🙂
I just wanted to give a reminder (to those that may be watching this page) that the Members of Barleyment competition opens July 25th.
