We are dedicated  to the art of crafting and quaffing fine beers through
 the sharing of ideas and experiences, the advocacy of brewing as a hobby and the responsible consumption of beverages containing alcohol

BOSS is a club of home brewing hobbyists.
Our meetings are held on the first Friday of each month in club member's homes or at local brewpubs around the Southwest Chicago Suburbs.
We have members from Joliet to Crown Point, from Hyde Park to Kankakee.
