A workshop for the spoken word in Brea, CA.

BrewMeisters Toastmasters meets the first and third Wednesday in Brea, California — both in person and on Zoom. Some of us are seasoned speakers; others arrived terrified of microphones. All of us are here to get better.

Our Story

BrewMeisters was founded over a decade ago by a group of beer connoisseurs — members who didn't just enjoy beer, but studied the craft of brewing and the history of beer making. Several even brewed their own.

While most of those founding members have since moved on, the tradition remains. Every meeting opens with a brief, voluntary beer tasting for members 21 and older — a chance to connect, settle any butterflies, and fellowship together before the meeting begins.

About Toastmasters

Toastmasters International is a worldwide nonprofit educational organization that operates clubs in 149 countries. The mission is simple but deceptively hard: build communication and leadership skills, one speech at a time.

Our chapter follows the Pathways learning experience — a self-paced curriculum with eleven specialized paths from Presentation Mastery to Strategic Relationships. Each path is built from projects that get progressively more ambitious.

Meetings run on a clockwork structure. Roles rotate. Feedback is direct but generous. The clock matters — green light, yellow light, red light — because clarity respects the audience's time.

If you've ever frozen in a meeting, dreaded a wedding toast, or wondered whether you could lead a team without losing the room — you'll find your people here.

Our values

Integrity. Respect. Service. Excellence. Growth.
