Season's Greetings, Holiday Cheer & Homebrew Fun Ahead!

Weiz Guys and Gals,
Season’s greetings to you and your families! As we wrap up another year of brewing, friendship, and giving back, I wanted to share some news and a few exciting things we have coming up.
First, what a way to spread holiday cheer! Our Turkey Drive was a tremendous success thanks to all of you. We collected 101 turkeys and approximately $500 in cash donations! The club matched that with an additional $500. Together, we helped make this season a bit brighter for families in need. Thank you for your generosity and kindness!
Now, while the weather is cooling down, the beer-making energy is heating up! The Sweetheart’s Revenge Homebrew Competition entry window opens 12/15/2025 and runs through 01/12/2026. Consider this your friendly reminder to brew up some holiday magic so you’ll have a great entry ready to go. The Sweetheart’s Revenge Competition is Saturday, February 7th, 2026 at Crooked Beech Brewing in Loveland.
Speaking of celebrating, our Holiday Party is right around the corner at Purpose Brewing in Fort Collins. We have moved the normal Tuesday meeting ahead one day for this special event to Wednesday, 12/17/2025. More details and the sign-up sheet for the potluck dinner will be posted very soon.
As we look forward to a new year full of great brews, just a quick reminder about membership. The membership dues for 2026 will remain at $15 for individuals and $25 for families (two adults). Join or renew now and you’ll be covered for all of 2026. A perfect stocking stuffer for any homebrewer!
