You Don’t Have to Join to Show Up
Seriously. Come to a meeting. Taste some beer. Meet some people. If it feels like your kind of crew, membership is here when you’re ready. No pitch, no pressure.
What to Expect at Your First Meeting →Ready to Make It Official?
Both memberships run on a calendar year (January – December).
Prefer to pay in person? Bring cash or check to any meeting and see the treasurer.
When You’re Ready
Membership runs calendar year (January through December) and includes everything below:
Monthly Meetings
Tastings, education, feedback, and good conversations with brewers at every level.
Brew Days
Brew at members’ homes and local breweries. Learn new techniques, share your process.
Iron Brewer Challenge
Our Iron Chef-style brewing competition — random ingredients, dice rolls, and bragging rights. A beloved tradition we are working to revive.
Jeff Sanders Memorial Competition
A club tradition honoring a beloved member. BJCP-judged and meaningful — currently on hiatus, but we hope to bring it back.
The Dregs Archive
Full access to all 88+ issues of our club newsletter — recipes, results, techniques, and history.
Mentorship
Get paired with experienced brewers and BJCP judges who actually want to help you get better.
Partner Discounts
Member discount at South Bay Brewing Supply (our meeting venue and local homebrew shop).
Voting Rights
Have a say in how the club runs — officer elections, bylaws, and club decisions.
First Access
Club merchandise, limited releases, and event registration before anyone else.
A Real Community
People who actually give a damn about your beer — and about hanging out with you.
That’s Cool. We’ll Be Here.
Come to a meeting first. Bring something you brewed — or don’t. Show up, say hi, taste some beer. Every second Wednesday at South Bay Brewing Supply in Torrance. Guests are always free.
