Home Brewing
The Fermentals are in their 30th year of service. The F.O.R.D. Homebrew club is dedicated to the understanding and appreciation of fermented beverages including ales, lagers, meads, ciders, wines, kombucha and sake. We provide training to new and experienced brewers needed to brew high quality beers of all styles. The club holds competitions, judging submissions based on nationally recognized standards. Feedback from the judges enables the brewers to improve their techniques and recipes.
Meetings occur the 4th Wednesday of each month alternating between Dearborn Brewing (21930 Michigan Ave, Dearborn, MI 48124) and Downey Brewing (13121 Prospect St, Dearborn, MI 48126), local craft breweries. November and December meetings occur 1 to 2 weeks earlier to drive the highest attendance possible. If the location or time of the meeting changes, members will be notified by normal club communication channels (see additional information below). Dues are set at $25 (single) and $30 [family/spouse] a year. The club performs brewing demos throughout the year and holds a number of additional fun events including pub-crawls, National Homebrew Day celebration and our annual Fall beer-b-que.
Club benefits include: Monthly meetings, access to our extensive library, access to club equipment including a Grainfather electric brewing system, Blichmann beer gun, a special pin lock fitting removal tool, a jockey box dispensing system, traveling bar, a small canopy, and a 15-gallon all grain pico brewing system.

The Ford Motorcycle Club is a group of motorcyclists interested in supporting and encouraging safe and enjoyable motorcycling through regular organised rides and events, rider training courses, sharing motorcycle-related information & rider experiences, and portraying motorcyclists as responsible users of the road.
We typically ride from April through October. Depending on the route, our weekly rides usually begin by meeting between 5:45 - 6:15 pm at either the BP station at Haggerty and Ecorse in Van Buren, or the Speedway at Haggerty and 8 Mile in Novi. The specific location and ride details for any given week can be found at fordmotorcycleclub.org/calendar. After a brief announcement from the ride leader about general safety reminders and where we’re going, we line up in staggered formation and depart for a 60-90 minute group ride. We always take the fun way because for us, the journey is the destination.
Other events are also listed at fordmotorcycleclub.org and details are usually communicated through the membership email distribution list. Some of these extra events often include an annual club-provided picnic in the summer, a winter dinner, and training opportunities.
Club members will frequently plan rides and invite others to join on weekend (or even week-long) trips. Some of our recent field trips have included the Rockies of Colorado, the Ozarks of Arkansas, the Natchez Trace Parkway, the Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route, Route 66, and the twisties of Southeast Ohio.
Our dues are $20.00 annually and you must have a motorcycle endorsement to ride with the group.
Come ride with us! We recommend that you join us for at least one ride before deciding to join the club.

The Ford Photo Club is proud to be a long-time member of the Ford Employees Recreation Association. Today, its membership is strong and diverse, with members from all walks of life and at all levels of photographic experience. Directed by its Constitution to enhance its member’s knowledge and enjoyment of photography, the Club offers monthly meetings with focused discussions on matters of composition, exposure, lighting, printing, and whatever else might come up as a topic that would benefit the photographic enthusiast.
With the advances in capability, and reductions in cost, of digital cameras, processing, and printing, the Golden Era of Avocational Photography is clearly, right now. Today’s photographic equipment and methods are better, easier to use and more affordable than ever before, and that fact is bringing lots of new people to explore the art and craft of photography. Today’s Ford Photo Club is strong and robust, welcoming all photographic technology, including the latest digital photo and video, but also vintage cameras, film, Polaroid, and pinhole imaging.
The Club also encourages its members to contribute to their communities. Photo Club members have participated with the Dearborn Animal Shelter, the Komen Foundation Race for the Cure, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Ford Accelerated Action Days, and a number of other community service organizations, as photographers, technical advisors, and as general labor.
The club meets at 5:00 pm in Dearborn on the third Thursday of the month.
