You can pay your membership dues for 2027 at this meeting, $20 cash or check payable to UKG. You can also pay online using this link.
Christmas Brew Roulette: bring a 6-pack of your holiday beer, mead, or cider, and leave with a mixed 6-pack of your fellow UKG members’ holiday brews! You’re encouraged to create a holiday label for your contributions, but a key will be distributed after the gathering so it’s not a complete mystery what’s in your 6-pack. We’ll use our Holiday Brew Slack channel to talk about the brews.
