Member Share & Brewery Tour @ West Plains Brewing
2025-06-10 18:00 - 20:00 | West Plains Brewing, 12622 W Sunset Hwy Suite D, Airway Heights, WA, 99001, United States
The club’s June meeting will be at West Plains Brewing in Airway Heights with owner/brewer and IBU Member Matt Swanson!
This meeting will feature the club brew we brewed on Big Brew Day (BBD) in early May (which I am calling The Pool’s Never Open because, as it seems, BBD is too early in May for Donde to have his pool open). The 25 gal batch was split among participants and fermented with different yeasts. This will be a great sensory experience for members to judge the isolated effect of different yeasts on the same wort.
Bring any other fermentation creations you’ve got ready as well!
Matt is a great host and club supporter. I’m sure we’ll get a tour of the brewery.
=======================
This meeting will also feature a club meeting raffle of items donated by club members for that meeting. How it works: Attendees bring to the meeting items they want to donate to the club to raffle off for that meeting. Tickets are $1 each. Club draws winning tickets in turn, and winners, in turn, pick their winning item from the field of items remaining. All funds go to the club. Consider donating items that would interest fellow club members, especially: brewing equipment/books/ingredients, craft beers, or beer culture items.

This meeting will feature or first Glass-o-Rama! We have this year’s glassware on hand and ready to distribute to members. But also… bring any other glassware you have collecting dust in the back of your cabinets that you don’t want anymore. We’ll pool them together and members can swap in and out of the pool freely. Bring your duplicates, those odd shapes and cool logos if you have them, but also all those Budweiser shakers that you’re hoarding. Maybe you can pick up a shape you haven’t tried yet. (Note: Items should be in great condition, no chips in the glass or chips or scratches in any painted logos please.) Whatever’s leftover after the swap, we can either save for next year or we can donate them to a thrift store. Great way to make some room in your cabinets and potentially help out other club members!
