Beer Church is a group of beer (and a bit of wine) aficionados at Pumping Station: One. Originally a beer tasting and science discussion group, lately Beer Church has been focusing more and more on brewing. Brewing Station: One is the small work area and storage facility in the shop devoted to brewing.

Events

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

Brewing Station: One

Brewing Station: One is a steel shelving unit converted (well, being converted) into a storage unit for keeping clean brewing gear (pots, carboys, bottles, bottling equipment, corks, wort chillers, kegs, etc) and a temperature controlled fermenting chamber. We expect to boil in the alley or by the rear entry.
