About Us
Hop Heads of Southeast Missouri is a homebrewing club with a membership based primarily in the Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois areas founded in 2013. We are a very young but focused club dedicated to the art of homebrewing and the appreciation of craft beers. Our membership is open to brewers and wanna-be-brewers alike. Each member is expected to contribute to the same extent that they derive club benefits.
Our main goal is to promote the practice of better brewing and to have fun while doing it. The club is still small, but there is a wealth of knowledge within its membership. One of our members owns a local homebrew supply store and micro-brewery, but the majority of our members are passionate all-grain and extract homebrewers.
In order to run the club, meetings and organize events more smoothly, we have officers that hold the following elected positions: (click on the links below to meet our officers)

•Treasurer
The officers hold their position for a twelve month period, until a meeting to elect new officers is held. Please see the Clubs By-Laws for more infomation about elections and offical club business.
