President – Ashleigh Smith
Brewing since 2017
Mostly all grain brewing but nothing wrong with extract brewing. Have a 5 gallon electric system and a 10 gallon electric system. Brewed a lot last year and I would like to continue brewing more in 2024. Motto: Fun is number one!

I’ve been brewing on and off since 1999. I’ve done 5 gallon extract and BIAB at home and for a few years I used a Brew on Premise facility in Ft. Lauderdale brewing 13 gallon batches. I started brewing pale ales and wheat beers. I now mostly brew West Coast style IPAs and Pilsners. For the past several years I’ve gotten into fermenting ciders. Ciders allow me to experiment with different flavors without breaking the bank and you don’t have to wait 4-6 weeks to know whether your experiment was successful or not. In the future I’m interested in getting an all-in-one electric set up.

I spent most of my life hating beer. I had only tried crap beers and they were disgusting! One day I indulged my husband in a day date trying some craft beer at Growler Country. Unexpectedly, I found some I liked. Granted they were ciders and sours, but you have to start somewhere :0). Over time I expanded my horizons and now enjoy almost everything, with a few exceptions. My favorites are the dark beers, stouts and porters mostly. A few years ago, we met a interesting man named Ian who introduced us to brewing our own beer. Fast forward and here we are…..
