Welcome to the Symposia Brew Corps website.
This site is intended as a showcase for my
adventures in home brewing.

My very 1st home brew draft from my new Cornie-keg system
"Symposia" once had a slightly different meaning or usage than it does today.  We think of a symposium as a large conference or convention about a topic or range of topics.  But, to the ancient Greeks, a symposium was a gathering to discuss philosophical issues and arguments.  This gathering was generally fueled with copious quantities of wine.   Kind of like a party.  Okay, I'm talking beer, but you get the point.  Symposia Brew Corps seems ideal for my personal brew-house.
   After moving to Brookings, OR in May of '09 I decided that since this was a new brew zone, a new name should be used as well.  I retired UisgueGrudlann, my original Eugene brewhouse name and instituted Symposia Brew Corps.
   Paradoxically, since I have yet to find any local brewing buddies or even drinking buddies, the plurality of both Symposia and Corps are perhaps a bit premature.
   I joined the Eugene, OR based
when I started home brewing on a regular basis.  They are a large home brew club and a wealth of information and entertainment.  I am still looking for home brewing activity here in Brookings.  I finally found a brewing supply retailer closer than Arcata, CA. It is a small, unattended consignment corner in a rural general store twenty-five miles away.  Mail-order here I come!
