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!
