Catawba Lager & Ale Sampling Society

We’re the Hickory, NC club for homebrewers and beer enthusiasts.

The Catawba Lager & Ale Sampling Society (CLASS) is a club for homebrewers and beer enthusiasts, located in Hickory, NC. CLASS serves Catawba and surrounding counties. We gather each month to share brews from seasonally-appropriate styles.

CLASS hosts a monthly Homebrew Review, National Learn to Homebrew Day,  Brews Cruise, and a festive Christmas Party.

We are organized as a non-profit club and operated by committee: Bobby Bush, Barry Wray, Rich Colton, Michelle Lail, Tim Knobloch, Chris Newsom, and Tom Pfaff. If you have questions for the leadership team, you can reach us through our Facebook Group, by email at , or in-person at one of our meetings.

Cheers!
