Just had to give a shout out to the Greenbelters out there.

We just won the Anchor Brewing California Homebrew Club of the Year!

Way to go! Cali is a huge state.  That is quite an accomplishment. 

My club won homebrew club of Indiana for this year.  Not quite what your club did!

Hi Jon,

You didn't say your club's name, but I looked it up and think you're talking about the Greenbelt Brewers Association.  Congratulations; I know the Anchor Brewing California Homebrew Club of the Year is a great honor!  Enjoy the party!

Cheers,
Janis

Well, you beat my club then.

Not sure I was aware of when the competition was, and we've got to be pretty small compared to Foamblowers, but there you have it.
