Like all great revolutions, Circle City Zymurgy began in a tavern. It was there over beers on a cold winter night that members of two different homebrew clubs decided to combine forces and take over the homebrewing world… Just kidding. All we want to do is make a homebrew club that is fun, social, charitable, educational, and inclusive. We strive to be an important part of both the homebrewing and local brewing communities. This is why we try to participate in as many local events and festivals as possible (you may have seen us at History on Tap, the Phoenix Theatre’s Brew Ha Ha, Upland’s Sour+Wild+Funk Fest, and Death and Taxes!), we have partnered with local breweries to serve our beer, and we host various fundraisers and champion charitable causes.
We hold monthly meetings on Wednesday at 7:30 PM. We always alternate meetings: one month we will meet at a local brewery, and the next month we have bottle shares and educational events at both Great Fermentations locations. We encourage you to check out our events page to see where the next meeting is going to be.
We want to work together as a team to accomplish great things! What can you expect from CCZ? Whatever you put into it. We want to create fun events that inspire you to create, taste, and learn about all things fermented. We were founded in February of 2016, and plan on sticking around for a while. If you’d like to be a part of the Circle City Zymurgy club, contact us at circlecityzymurgy@gmail.com.
