MCZA meetings and events will be postponed until further notice. However, homebrew supply shops and websites are still running, so with little else available for recreation, why not brew more beer?
Notifications will be sent out to fellow Zymurgists when we can reconvene.
All the best,
Riley Zionce
MCZA President
This month’s meeting will be Thursday, February 20th at Ice Harbor Brewing Co. The meeting will begin with tastings at 7:00 and official business at 7:30. Topics for this month’s meeting are:
