Last Saturday night, our congregation had its annual Steak Fry, feeding about one hundred people. Its a project primarily of the older members of the congregation, which is great. They've sold beer at the event every year, but this year, instead of Miller/Coors/Budweiser, we brewed up a Cream Ale. The congregation is celebrating its 95th Anniversary this year and we named the beer in honor of that occasion. Three members of the congregation came over and helped to brew it, which was fun! We donated the beer to the Steak Fry and they suggested a $2 donation per bottle. We finished the 5 gallon batch by the end of the evening. The funds received went towards a project to renovate the church's narthex. A number of people were interested in how we brewed it, what beer was made from, etc. It was a fun evening.
