Last night I was doing a quick survey of membership dues for homebrew clubs in the region and came up with the following. If you're in a club that's not listed, please take a moment to send the relevant information to me (directly, don't clutter the list). Thanks! (and if the information I found on your club's website is no longer accurate, let me know about that, too). * Kenosha Bidal Society $40 * Saint Louis Brews $25 (plus $3 per meeting fee if you don't bring any beer to share) * Chicago Beer Society $25 individual / $40 couple * Beer Barons of Milwaukee $10/year plus $5 meeting fee to cover the cost of the beer for that month's style tasting * Green Bay Rackers $20 * Society of Oshkosh Brewers $20 * Club Wort $20 * Homebrewers of Peoria $18 * Brewers on the Bluff $20 individual / $30 couple (membership year starts in August, partial year memberships starting April-July are $10) * BUZZ $15 * Minnesota Homebrewers Association $15 * Cloudy Town Homebrewers (Saint Cloud) $15 * Sheboygan Sin City Suddzers $12 * Urban Knaves of Grain $12, prorated $1 monthly if you join after January * Kansas City Bier Meisters $10 * Appleton Libation Enthusaists $10 * Saint Paul Homebrewers $6 * Stateline Brewing Society (Beloit) no dues, but contribute at least $1 toward the tip for the staff who will be cleaning up the tasting table * Mount Horeb Beer Appreciation Society no dues * Forest City Brewers (couldn't find membership price on website other than that it is established by and can be changed by a 2/3 vote of the members. Couples membership is an additional 50% over the individual membership) Now go have a beer, Bob Paolino "Are Canadians just Americans who carry hockey sticks instead of guns, or is there more to it than that?" --"This Canadian Existence" Wisconsin Public Radio ( ) ASCII ribbon campaign X against HTML e-mail: / \ Friends don't send friends HTML-bloated messages!
