Major Announcement!

The Forest City Brewers are  moving. We have decided to seek out a new venue for our monthly club meetings, and have chosen to relocate to Shooter's Bar and Grill at Don Carter Lanes, 4007 E. State St. Rockford, IL. They have a large, private party room for us to meet in, a nice selection of brews, and a full menu of eats and appetizers. Help support the change by showing up for our first meeting at the new location  to show your appreciation for the folks at Shooter's and Don Carter Lanes who are making this possible. Thank you very much, and please remember to  tip your waitresses!

In unrelated news, my quest to update the website is progressing. The points totals for the Style contests are current to September. The newsletters are completely updated, and many front page items have been moved to the Headline Archive. I will be consulting with the webdaddy shortly on making some other adjustments.

Also, the details have been set for the annual Octoberfest Party, and will be included in full in the October edition of the Barley Whispers, which should be out to memebers during the first week of October, and posted here as well.

 

 


The club is run informally and offers a chance to try sample homebrews and discuss what you taste.

Easy... Kind of like the FCB tasters guild but with homebrews...and free peanuts!

Thanks for letting us advertise here.
