THE VILLAGES CRAFT BEER AND BREWING ENTHUSIASTS |
ABOUT US 🔎Welcome to The Villages Craft Beer & Brewing Enthusiasts! We’re a social club based in The Villages, Florida, for anyone passionate about craft beer, homebrewing, and good times. We meet on the fourth Thursday of most months, and throughout the year we host plenty of fun events. Whether you’re a seasoned brewer, a curious craft beer lover, or just starting your journey into the craft beer world, this is the place!If you like great beer and even better company, come raise a glass with us.Cheers! 🍻 LEARN MORE ď‚« MONTHLY MEETINGS 🍺Club Meetings are on the 4th Thursday of every month (with the exception of November, and
occasionally December when holidays shift the date). Each meeting revolves around a featured beer
style announced in advance. Members are invited to bring examples of that style to share for the
social time, plus any other favorite beers they’d like to share at the 'open table'. The meetings
typically start with a Club update, then a short, engaging presentation on the history, ingredients,
brewing techniques, or hallmarks of the month’s selected style. The Club then provides a calibration
beer tasting of the monthly style for everyone to taste, followed by open discussion and friendly
conversation as we compare notes on aroma, flavor, and what makes the beer unique. After the
calibration tasting, the real fun begins as we move into the social time! Members get to sample the
beers from the two tasting tables: the "selected monthly style" table which includes the night’s
theme beers brought by members, and an “all others” table, which includes a free-for-all of
surprises, member favorites, and even homebrews made by our very own Club members.
BUS TRIPS 🚍Throughout the year, the Club organizes fun-filled, hassle-free bus trips to some of Florida’s best
craft breweries – all within easy day-trip distance of The Villages. Past adventures have taken us
to Gainesville, Tampa, Dunedin, Orlando, and beyond, with new destinations added whenever a great
opportunity arises. Leave the driving to us: hop on the bus, relax with friends, and enjoy
outstanding beers straight from the source.
SOCIAL EVENTS 🎉Year-round, the Club keeps the good times flowing with casual meet-ups and special events designed
for laughter, friendship, and (of course) great craft beer. You’ll find us gathering at local
breweries and taprooms for relaxed happy hours, taking over a rec center room for member-only
parties and seasonal celebrations, hosting fiercely fun game nights (with beer and prizes,
naturally), shooting pool, sitting by a fire pit, or just kicking back with friends old and new.
Smaller Social Gatherings usually happen on the 1st Thursday of every month and Larger Social
Gartherings occur quarterly. There are also Pop-up events that happen when the opportunity strikes
that take our passion for craft beer to the next level.
