TCHOPS is a club for home beer, wine and mead makers in the Tulare County area.  Our goal is to share our craft with each other, build an awareness of craft brewing in the area, and create an educational environment for novice and experienced homebrewers.  We participate in a variety of events throughout the year.

Our meetings are usually scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month.  Meeting sites vary, but we frequently host meetings at Brewbakers in Visalia.  Our next meeting is going to be July 20,  at Bert and Moni's.
