Our May event will be the opportunity to brew your own beer at Copper Kettle Brewing in Greenfield! Here is your chance to brew your own beer and have someone else clean up after you! The brewing itself takes several hours, then it will ferment and the group will have to come back to bottle their beer. To keep down costs, we can have up to 5 ladies on one kettle. Each kettle makes 60 22oz bottles which is more than enough split 5 ways. We hope to use some of this beer for our summer picnic/beer exchange event.
The cost per person depends on your groups' choice of beer. There are three levels of beer pricing; classic ($35 per case), premium ($37 per case), select ($39 per case). The brew yields 5 cases of 12 22oz bottles. These bottles can be reused for future brewings to discount your total. Generic labels are provided for free. However, if your group chooses to do so, you may create custom labels for an additional $25 per case.
To register for this event, click here. Visit the Events tab at the top, scroll to the month of May, then choose the date and brew of your choice. Currently, there is an event for brewing a wheat and an IPA. More choices will be added shortly.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this event and happy brewing!

Spring 2012 Events
Greetings, craft beer ladies! We have a lot of exciting events in the works for the upcoming months. Including, but not limited to, the following:
Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week
The Pittsburgh Beer Ladies will be taking part in Pittsburgh's 1st annual craft beer week. This event was created in conjunction with Pittsburgh Brewniversity and is currently scheduled for Monday, April 23 from 7:00PM-8:30PM. This event, open to both women and men, will begin with an overview of the role of women in the local and national craft beer industry. The main portion of this event will be spent on education using the "beer wheel." Attendees will sample various beers and mark the flavors they think they taste on the beer wheel. The person leading the event will discuss the tasting notes for each beer and entertain questions so everyone understands how to describe what it is they are tasting.
Copper Kettle Brewing Company
Have you ever wanted to brew your own beer but didn't know where to start? Let the PBL and Copper Kettle Brewing Company help you out. Copper Kettle, right next to Hough's Tap Room and Brew Pub, has the all equipment and the recipes. In May, those wanting to take part will be divided into groups of 5 (only 5 people can be on a kettle) and assigned a beer. When we're all done, we can swap bottles...which leads us to our June event.
PBL Beer Swap
In June, PBL will be renting a park and having our 1st annual beer swap! This event will be also open to spouses and significant others of the male persuasion. Those attending will bring a case of one of their favorite brews to share with the group. We will also bring samples of our Copper Kettle beer so those who couldn't make it to the previous event may sample our creations.
As you can see, we have quite a bit planned so please stay tuned for details! More information on all the these events, as well as any others added, will be posted soon. If you have any questions or would like us to visit a particular venue or feature a specific brewery, please feel free to post here or send me an email.
Cheers!

Tasting Education
Have you ever tried a beer, loved it, but couldn't put your finger on exactly what it was about the beer you loved? Unless you're an expert on hops, esters, yeasts, and so forth, chances are you've found yourself in this exact situation. I know I have. The Pittsburgh Beer Ladies are working on an event that takes attendees beyond just tasting; beyond this is an IPA, this is an imperial stout. Stayed tuned. More information about this educational advanced tasting will be posted soon!
Cheers!
Cheers!

Upcoming events
Hello, ladies! I was reminded that I have not updated this blog recently. Definitely not a good thing. We've already had one event this year created and hosted by Brooke Franus. It was a fantastic beer and chocolate event held at the Carson Street Deli on February 13th. If you missed it, not to worry. There are currently two other events scheduled. And they are:
Tap Takeover at Beer Nutz
Thursday, February 3rd, 5pm to 10pm
Every Thursday, Beer Nutz hosts what they call a Tap Takeover. They generally have a representative from a different brewery there and do tastings. Occasionally, they'll focus on a specific type of beer instead of a specific brewery. The event is set up from 5-10pm to accommodate ladies coming directly from work, and also for those who can't get there until later. To RSVP, Click here.
Sampling at Barley's and Hop's
Wednesday, March 7th, 7pm
Barley's and Hop's Bottle Shop and Cafe offers an enormous variety of imports and microbrews. On Wednesday, March 7th at 7pm, they will host a beer sampling for us. There will be a nominal fee associated with this tasting. As soon as I have the beer list and cost, I'll post it here. To RSVP, Click here.

We have a lot of other exciting events in the works, so check back soon! Cheers!

Hoppy Holidays!
Beer ladies! I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, happy whatever-it-is-you-celebrate! Enjoy your friends and family and holiday beers.
On January 12th at 7pm, we will be having a planning meeting at Hough's. You all are welcome to attend as this is your club, too. We do now have a core planning committee, but value everyone's input.
While we figure out which venue/brewery will be next, we may have a tasting at TheBeerHive at the end of January. They contacted me about perhaps having something at their location. Hey, it's a great place and the events are free. Some possible options for the beginning of the year are Hough's, Barley's & Hop's, D's, Bocktown, Draai Laag Brewery and others.
Cheers! See you all next year!
