I&#8217;m not going anywhere. It has been a great 2 years! I have loved serving the club as your president. We have welcomed a few new members and worked to focus the club on brewing with enhanced education topics and brewing opportunities. I hope membership in SAAZ has been rewarding to you. I know I have gained a lot from the club. The club is headed in the right direction and I know our next president will lead us to greatness. I hope to manifest some major medal winning in 2024 and can&#8217;t wait for our wort share later this month. Have a wonderful holiday season full of love and cheer! May 2024 be your best year ever.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Gregg, SAAZ President<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-380x254.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas-285x190.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.saaz.org\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/saaz-xmas.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>SAAZ Holiday Party<\/h2>\n<p>Saturday, December 16th 5:30-9:30pm @Brad &amp; Anita&#8217;s 4355 Vancouver Ave. Cocoa, FL 32926<\/p>\n<p>Wear your Ugly Christmas Sweater, Bring a side dish or dessert &#8211; the Millers are cooking Pierogies, White Elephant Gift Exchange $25 value suggested and bring your homebrew or favorite beer to drink.<\/p>\n<h2>Officer Elections<\/h2>\n<p>Officer Elections are held at the December Meeting.

Brewery is able to produce 120 gallons so spots are limited. Thinking a pilsner\/pale malt mix. You will then take the wort and finish the brewing process with your personal flare. You can bring your tent\/set-up and brew on premise in the parking lot. Alternatively you can come and collect the wort in a carboy and bring it home if your setup is not portable. There are no rules, brewers may add hops, fruit, spices, additional grains, make it your own. We would like to serve a keg of each beer at the Brewer&#8217;s Bash and host a people&#8217;s choice competition. Just like the Beach Fly wort share there will also be a panel of judges picking their favorite and the winner will brew with Chris at Dirty Oar. Please keep in mind that your recipe needs to be cost efficient to make for the taproom. Modifications may be necessary to scale up production.\u00a0 Email prez@saaz.org to let me know how many gallons of wort you need. Over 50 gallons are already reserved!<br \/>\nMore details to come soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not goodbye, it&#8217;s just til next time!&#8221; says my favorite singer Brent Smith from Shinedown and that&#8217;s how I feel.
