Beer Church is a group brewing beer at Pumping Station: One. Originally just a beer tasting and science discussion group, lately Beer Church has been focusing more and more on brewing, although we still do a beer tasting at every event! Brewing Station: One is the small work area and storage facility in the shop devoted to brewing.

Semi-biweekly Beer Church gatherings take place some Sundays at 1PM. They generally follow a format of meet & greet, pot luck beer tasting, brewing, and discussion of beer, life, and everything.

Brewing Station: One is a steel shelving unit converted into a storage unit above for keeping clean brewing gear (pots, carboys, bottles, bottling equipment, corks, wort chillers, kegs, etc) and a temperature controlled fermenting chamber below. We brew in the loading dock.

We have a donated refrigerator; converted to kegerator. It's connected to the bar & draft tower, and working. We currently have 2 taps. We want to upgrade to 4 taps. Ryan Pierce currently is holding the cash for that project, it's $90.59 of the way into the needed $176 for the upgrades.
