- Time to start planning for 2023! Some things we might think do if you are interested:
- Brewing collaborations -- 2022 was a great year - Maybe more this year?
- Five by five walking tour -- it was a lot of fun, and we could do it again. We could change it up a bit if we wanted to as well. Anyone interested?
- Club competition -- these are a lot of work, but if there's interest, we could do it again
- Bus trip -- haven't done one of these for a while, but they can be a lot of fun
- Maifest -- We don't have anything on the calendar yet... Do we want to do something for Big Brew Day?
- Barrel project -- We did a couple of barrels last year, do we want to do more?
- Club sponsored brews - Looking for ideas

- Speak up if you have ideas or comments. Now is the time to get started on these things.
