The Fredericksburg Brewing Insiders (FBI) is a AHA registered homebrew club in Fredericksburg, Virginia dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of home brewing and beer appreciation in the Fredericksburg area.  We share brewing knowledge, methods, new brewpub and microbrewery discoveries, and great homebrew at monthly meetings and special events.  No brewing experience is necessary.

    The objectives of the club are:

 

  • Learning about beer and brewing techniques
  • Promoting the craft of homebrewing
  • Help one another make better beer
  • Social interaction and activities centered around homebrewing
  • Responsible use and enjoyment of beer

So, if you like real beer, want to know beer styles better, brew your own beer, or are just

curious as to what it takes to brew beer, FBI meetings are the place for you.
