Hey Greg!
Welcome to the Brewcommune boards! We are an Orange County based homebrew club with members ranging from LA out to Corona & down to Aliso Viejo.
Our boards are open to everyone, along with the bi-monthly meetings. We post the meeting details in this forum (Cheers), typically a week or two before the date.
In addition, check other events with club members in
the 'Events' forum.
As Brad mentioned, there is a section of the boards for paid members, and therin we post special projects & gatherings. Membership goes through the calendar year, so you may want to check out a couple of our public events first, and then consider joining the paid section in January.
The "Learn to Brew" event will be pretty cool, and a great way to meet a bunch of us while we are actually brewing up some demonstration batches!
Hope to see you there!
