Month: May 2019

Hello from the StuBrew team. We hope all is going well with revision and things are going well, you’re all in the final stretch and soon you can have the freedom to go out and sup on some ales whenever you like. The end is in sight.

Another week with has gone by and the new committee are starting to find their feet with their new roles. We’ve been as busy as ever brewing and sorting out sales and beers, all action stations here still!

This week we’ve had a big brew day on Saturday with Harry and Dan doing a long shift brewing, kegging 13.3 keys of Lab Session and doing a LOT of cleaning casks. A lot of transferring zests and puree to our brews to get that delicious fruity flavour. Harry has also been busy earlier in the week bottling up a load of cider getting it ready for sale. Check out the perfect pour of the puree for that extra fruity note in the pints.

Don’t forget we’ve got our final brewery bash of the year on the 7th of June, get yourselves down for a celebratory pint or two now that exams are finally over. We have food, live music and beer; what more could you want. Expect a couple of acoustic sets from Pete Bennet and Ade Scarlett so get ready for that. Keep an eye on the Facebook event here for any more info and to let us know that you’re coming.

That’s all for this week, keep powering through exams and see you all in Merz court on the 7th for a final evening before summer

Cheers

Hello! We hope that everyone’s exams, revision and deadlines are going to plan. This is a really stressful time of year for everyone – but don’t worry, it will be over soon. It’s nearly summer!

You might have noticed that we’ve got our Brewery Bash on the 7^th June. This is the perfect opportunity to come and raise a glass of something soft or strong to the academic year, have a boogie and stuff your faces. In terms of food vendors we’re yet to confirm who is going to be joining us but based on previous bashes it will go down a storm! Also joining us will be Pete Bennett and Ade Scarlett who some of you might remember from The Kush. We’ll be having a few acoustic sets: here’s a snippet of what you can expect to hear…

If this seems like your cup of tea we’d be over the moon to see you there. For updates keep track of our Facebook event, made especially for the Brewery Bash!

Chris and Ali brewed Zest Tube last weekend! This is the perfect summer beer which is packed with the tasty squeeziness of blood oranges. Keep your eyes peeled (if you’ll pardon the pun…) and you might get a chance to try this in the next couple of weeks.

As we explained in last week’s blog post, we’ve just formed our new committee for the next academic year. The team have spent the last few weeks finding their feet, getting to grips with how we operate and have picked up some great transferable skills so far! There’s still time to get involved with the team as we have opened up the role of Creative Design to any students interested in getting involved with the society. This role will be perfect for anyone looking to enhance their design skills. You don’t have to have any previous brewing experience for this role, just like any of our other roles, so we’re looking for someone with a passion for design with bags of enthusiasm to learn. For more details check out the advert here.

That’s all from us for this week but make sure you keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter for any updates.

Cheers!
