March 2026 Meeting Minutes

The NUBS meeting covered several key points. The group is officially paying $600 annually in rent at Perfect Brewing Supply, with a $50 per month cost. They discussed the need for a nine o’clock exit time for safety and liability reasons. The Mundelein Craft Beer Festival is live, with 18 spots available and a $6,500 sponsorship goal for wristbands. The Zoigl Brew event is scheduled for April 4, and Big Brew for May 2. A potential brewing competition is planned for mid-July, with 100-150 entries expected. A van trip to explore Chicago’s beer destinations is also considered. The next educational seminar will focus on terpenes.

Congrats to Aurelio who won Beer of the Quarter with his Festbier.
