For the Love of the Craft (FLOC) was held on November 18 at the White Meadow Lake Country Club in Rockaway. It’s a homebrew competition by day and a beer pairing dinner by night. The twist is that the participating homebrew clubs each collaborate with a pro brewer to design and brew a beer for the event. Then Chef Chris Masey, well known for his ability to cook for—and with—beer, conjures up his kitchen magic.

What a great gathering with some great people. A big thanks to Nicole, Chris and Nell for a wonderful evening. Congrats to all the home brew winners from MASH, NJ Hops, Scuba and all around the country. A special thanks to the NJ breweries that got involved; Angry Erik, Bolero Snort, Magnify and Man Skirt. All those collaboration beers were spot on. Enjoy the photos, see you at the next one.
