We are going to kick 2019 off with a Fruit Cider Brewers Duel as well as a Cider MASH Lab hosted by Chris Johnson. We will lead a discussion on common cider making techniques so be prepared to talk about your cider making process and bring an example you may have at home.
The 2019 membership drive will begin also. This year dues will be $30 or $25 if you are a member of the American Homebrewers Association (AHA). Not a member? Join using this link.
We will have everyone fill out THIS FORM at the meeting so get ahead of the line and fill it out now. It will ask for your AHA member number and expiration date.
Dues can be paid in cash at the meeting or sent ahead of time using PayPal to mashnewjersey@gmail.com. Be sure to select the “friends and family” payment option.
Twin Elephant Brewing
13 Watchung Ave, Chatham Borough, NJ 07928
Tuesday, March 19th
7:30 pm
Don’t forget that MASH members are welcome to drop off beer to be anonymously evaluated by one of our 19 BJCP judges. Simply register at onlinebeerscores.com and bring your numbered bottle.
As always, meetings are open to all but please note this does not mean Twin Elephant is open to all. Attendees should be there to attend a MASH meeting not simply for Twin Elephant beer. Bring homebrew to share and a sample glass to help cut down on cups waste.
2019 MASH Board

The MASH Board has existed since the very beginning. The Board meets monthly in order to plan monthly meetings, facilitate the great MASH events, coordinate membership and oversee MASH Committees.
The Board is made up of five members. All Board members are elected at large and the Board then votes on the roles that each Board Member will serve. All five Board positions are up for this year’s vote.
