The 10th Annual Boreal Brewers Homebrew Club tasting of home fermented beverages will take place at 5:00 pm, Saturday, June 18, 2005 in the tent bar of the Neighborhood Tavern in beautiful downtown Effie.  

This event is open to the public.  Eddie Jeff Cahill, a well known local folk/blues musician dubbed łthe Bard of Beer,˛ will be providing musical interludes for the tasting.

A small cover charge will defray the cost of hall rental, entertainment and supplies only.  It is not for the purchase of any alcoholic beverages, as all home fermented beers, meads and wines are donated.  Local brewers, vintners, cider and mead makers are encouraged to bring some of their beverages to share.  Six or eight  12 ounce bottles of each beverage are usually enough to offer a sample for everyone.

The purpose of the tasting is to increase awareness of the fine art of homebrewing and the many beer styles that exist in the world, by giving away free samples in an informal setting. The tasting will feature a wide variety of donated home fermented beverages, including beers, wines and meads. Past tastings have seen an average of  25 different beverages contributed for sampling.

The Boreal Brewers Home Brew Club was organized in 1991 by Jerry Bourbonnais and Steve Benson, long time local homebrewers. The club is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the advancement of the art, science and appreciation of homebrewing by providing a forum for the exchange of homebrewing products,  information and expertise. The club currently has more than 40 members from all across northern Minnesota.
