Come and say hi to the new committee and say goodbye to last year’s fantastic team.  This time we’re being joined by The Real Meditteranean Kitchen for some yummy Gyros which are sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be introducing our new committee members!

Today Dom, our new quality analyst, did his first distillation therefore we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to tell you all more about him. Dom has been active in Stu Brew all throughout his first year and has attended many events, participated in a brew day and is a member of our home brew club. We can’t wait to have him on the team!
