Upcoming Events

It's Where You Should You Be
Join the Club

Picture
Our monthly meetings are great places to learn how to brew great beer. Some compete in our monthly competitions, some enjoy the beer and have dinner in area Brewpubs, and some just come to taste what others have brewed. Each person in our club is at a different point in their brewing journey, and all types of brewers are embraced. Beginners listen and learn, advancing brewers compete and gain valuable feedback, and judges and leadership mentor those who desire more. No matter where you are in your brewing process, PrimeTime Brewers is home of the best people (and brewers) around.

Come to any of our upcoming meetings and see for yourself how these fine beer, mead, and braggot brewers make you feel. No need to call ahead, but if you would like some guidance, email us with the button below, and we be there for you.
