Club FAQ
The follow are some frequently asked questions about the Winnipeg Brew Bombers
Do I need to have experience to join the club?
No experience is necessary. Our members vary from people who are just starting to learn the hobby, to those who have been brewing for decades.
How do I join?
Simply show up to a meeting and talk to the president. They will introduce themself at the start of every meeting. You can also visit the Sign Up Page to review membership options.
Where and when are meetings?
See the calendar of events for meeting locations and times. They are typically held on the first Tuesday of each month* starting at 7:00. This may be different if there is a long weekend, so always go by what the calendar says. We arrange to meet at various breweries or other locations in and around Winnipeg.
* note the club only holds meetings from September to June.
Do I need to check the website every month for meeting locations?
Once you decide to join, there is an email list for important club information, where meeting reminders will be emailed to you. Updates will often be posted on the website, and our social media pages as well.
Is there a cost to join the club?
The Winnipeg Brew Bombers are a (unregistered) non-profit organization. Although attending the club meetings is free we do have member dues of $50 or $20 depending on your desired tier. This is to cover the cost of a club kit (5 gallon batch of beer ingredients available in either all grain or extract kits) that each member receives. It also covers the cost for the club windup BBQ at the end of the season.
Do I need to bring my homebrew to meetings?
Nope! While many members like to get feedback on their most recent brews, this is not a requirement in any way. Also, it’s important to note that current LGCA regulations prohibit the consumption of homebrew outside a private residence, so if you bring your beer to a meeting, it must be in sealed bottles for exchange with other members.
