Channel and Homebrewing Update July 2023
For our subscribers out there who watch these episodes as they come out, we wanted to get a bit of an update out there, and explain what’s been going on and why there hasn’t been a video in a while. We also talk about what we’re hoping to brew up, and just basically yammering on and on and on.

Some of the links we were talking about:
Front Range Homebrew Circuit (FRC) – http://www.frontrangecircuit.com/
Not sure who started it, but it seems like Nelson Crowle, the creator and maintainer of ReggieBeer https://www.reggiebeer.com is at least managing most of it, and set up the website. On the Front Range Circuit Site, you can see the competitions that are part of the circuit, and individual rankings. It’s all based on medals won, so if you haven’t medaled in any of the competitions, then you won’t see your name in there. Check out the Front Range Homebrew Circuit for a list of the comps.
