This month’s home brewers’ meeting was graciously hosted by our friends at Flying Fish Brewery at their brand new, amazingly eco-friendly site in Somerdale, NJ.
one of the many ways in which the new brewery tries to have little to no impact on the surrounding environment, other than giving us great beer.
Get in line
Gene from Flying Fish had a special beer just for our club being poured during the tours. Tapped after the “public” was closed out.
an obvious staple picture in any brewery tour, the stash.
the holding tanks for secondary and finishing, as well as some fermenters
our gracious tour guide tells about how cool the bottling line can be, and how it sometimes breaks things!

looking towards the front of the brewery, you can get a sense of how much they’ve expanded from their last location in Cherry Hill
club members sampling both the brewery’s beers and our own home brews
some of us checking out all the things normal people wouldn’t care about
It was a birthday party, as well, so we had some cupcakes and cookies! Happy Birthday Tara from Babes for Beer!
Flying Fish used a lot of recycled materials from the water tower out back to build a lot of the decorations and tables in the tasting room
went out for a night cap at the end of the night.
we went to the bar afterwards to have a night cap, and gina wanted to play some games.
