Alright, I have been brewing 3 1/2 years now and never really considered a club.  But, at this point I feel I could use a touch of help to improve on my already wonderful beers as well as be a little bit of help to some of those starting out.  I was thinking a club might be a nice way to get into this in a face to face setting. Here’s the deal: St. Paul HB Club is frickin’ huge, which is not what I am looking for.  Something smaller would be nice and I am wondering who or where I might be able to find something like this.  Any ideas? Thanks! ---

Mnstorm99, I know you said that you didn’t want to join St Paul club because of the size but I would invite you to attend the Minnesota Home Brewers Club.  We are actually larger than St Paul but are a little more organized and definitely have a friendly vibe.  Our meetings are sometimes large 100+ people but the last one there were less than 20.  We have a wide range of brewers from all grain to extract to just beer lovers.  I guarantee your brewing will improve if you participate and ask questions at meetings.  Our next meeting is Learn to Homebrew at Barley Johns.  You can find details at [www.mnbrewer.com](http://www.mnbrewer.com).  Come check it out, you don’t have to be a member to attend one meeting.
