Bull Falls Brewers Club History
Although North Central Wisconsin and the Wausau area have a long brewing heritage, the Bull Falls Brewers are relative newcomers to the brewing scene.
In February 1995
microbiologist Terese Barta taught a Science of Brewing Malt Beverages
course through UW-Marathon County. After the course had been completed,
Ms. Barta formed a club so that her students could continue the craft
of homebrewing.
That club was the genesis of the current Bull Falls Brewers.
 Original
club member Bob Beck recalls the first meeting in March 1995, where
roughly 15 people attended, all eager to learn more about their new
hobby. Over the years the club has met in many locations throughout the
Wausau area. First, in members homes. Then at the Center for Visual
Arts, where club members performed volunteer work for the Center.
Finally, in 2001 the club found its perfect home…the newly
opened Hereford & Hops brewpub in Wausau.
The club continues to
grow with homebrewers of all skill levels – from novices brewing
their first beers from extract kits, to advanced all grain brewers with
full scale brewing systems. All are welcome.
As the club continues
to grow, look for additional club events to be featured. The Bull Falls
Brewers Annual Homebrew Competition is a new event, drawing entries
from homebrewers throughout Central Wisconsin with judging by
professional brewers from local breweries and brewpubs.
