Winter brewing season is here! The 4th Annual SCH Amateur Brewing Championship is in the books, and it was another great year - and our first at new home Appalachian Brewing Co. Our winter social is right around the corner, it's lager brewing time, and we're looking forward to the start of the new year.
The 2011 EPHY is also decided, and congratulations for the second time to David Barber! We look forward to presenting his EPHY Cup at an upcoming LVHB meeting. It was a great year of brewing from a lot of local homebrewers - thank you all for your efforts, and we look forward to seeing you move up the leader board next year! To see your standings and who is tops in your club after the final leg, visit the Homebrewer of the Year page.

SCH is committed to sharing the pleasures of homebrewing with brewers and non-brewers alike. For brewers, we offer a collection of battle-tested and award-winning recipes (extract and all-grain), tasting and evaluation by BJCP-approved judges, brewing and beer education, and social events for brewers and families alike. For non-brewers, we offer all of that in a slightly more tipsy state as you become unofficial “tasters” for the homebrewed awesomeness produced by our members. Our monthly meetings are held at the Appalachian Brewing Co. on the second Thursday of every month, and serve as a great night out in addition to being educational and entertaining.
For the competitive, we host an annual competition (Stoney Creek Homebrewers Amateur Brewing Championship), administer the Eastern Pa. Homebrewer of the Year (EPHY) competition, and are active participants in AHA Club-Only Competitions. For those in it for the artistic and culinary adventure, our specialty brewers have produced a number of award-winning concoctions (Peppermint Stout or Triple Berry Bock, anyone?), and are on hand to offer advice on how to make that Taco Vienna Lager you dream about…
Yes, there’s something for everyone in SCH. Members enjoy benefits unique to our club, and we welcome inquiries at any time. Contact us at schomebrewers@gmail.com for more information, and remember, “there can’t be good living where there isn’t good drinking” (Benjamin Franklin)!
Prost,
