NEW LOCATION for June Meeting:

Learn saki making at moto-i

Due to an unforeseen development, the Rahr Malting tour is canceled. Instead, for our June meeting, we will be learning about saki brewing at moti-i, the first saki brewpub outside of Japan. Blake Richardson, owner of the Herkimer brewpub, opened the saki pub last fall. Blake will provide a tour of the brewery and explain saki production starting at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 6.

The restaurant opens at noon, and club members are welcome to hang out on the rooftop patio and have lunch, saki or beers. Blake is fine with bottles of homebrew being brought to the meeting but asks that the sampling stop once his customers arrive at noon.

Here’s your chance to learn about a brewing style that might eventually become part of beer competitions. Saki is actually closer to beer production than mead or cider.

The saki brewpub is on Lyndale, just north of West Lake Street. The address is 2940 Lyndale. Here’s a link: http://www.moto-i.com/
