50 for 50

50th logo design by Em Sauter (Pints and Panels)

“50 for 50” is a celebration of the Underground Brewers of Connecticut’s 50th anniversary as a homebrew club and a recognition of the club’s contribution of the 50 point beer score sheet which became the BJCP judging standard.

We have a lot planned for 2025 including an article in Zymurgy, a 50th club beer release from the New England Brewing Company, and a celebration party.

NEBCo Beer!

The New England Brewing Company has offered to brew a 50th anniversary beer to celebrate the club. Our own Caysey Welton has come up with a “Not to Style Golden Ale” recipe to brew which will also be published in an upcoming Zymurgy article on the club put together by Andy Tipler and Steve Victor. Stay tuned for more details, but looking right now like a March release.

Merch!

We have a selection of hoodies, t-shirts, sweatshirts, performance 1/4 zip and baseball caps available with the club and “50 for 50” logo. 15% of the proceeds go towards club 50th activities.

The store link will only be available for a short time (about 1 week each time) and we will post here when the store is open. Plans are to have merch available prior to the 2024 holidays, club party, and beer release.

Store status: Closed Order period #1 has completed

Club Party!

We celebrating the club 50th at NewSylum Brewing in Newtown on Friday June 20th at 6 pm. We are hoping many of the “OG” club members will be able to attend. Save the date, more details to follow…

Stay tuned, we will update here as things come together!
