We are the Boneyard Union of Zymurgical Zealots, the official homebrewing club of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (a.k.a. The Illini Homebrewers).

We meet the first Thursday of most months at 7:00 pm at The Bread Company, located at 706 S. Goodwin Avenue in Urbana. Beginners and new members are always welcome, and you need not be a student to join though you must be at least 21 years old to participate in any activities involving alcohol. Just show up at one of our meetings (we are usually in the back room), or contact one of the club officers.

The 14th annual BUZZ Brew-Off went off without a hitch. Competitors should be getting ribbons and scoresheets shortly, you can also see the results online here. I’d like to thank everyone involved with the competition who helped make it such a success, especially our stewards and judges. Special thanks to Joshi for his excellent work as head judge, Marco for his wonderful food wrangling abilities, Mark, as registrar, for keeping everything organized, Florian, who kept the stewards organized and busy on Saturday, and last but not least, Mike who gathered all of our top-notch sponsors. We hope to see you all next year!
