FEBRUARY 2010 MEETING: MALT! February 17, 6:30 PM

After seeing the great job Mike Kelly did with his Yeast presentation, John Arends has agreed to do the same thing for Malt in February. This meeting will be on Wednesday, February 17 at 6:30 PM. Once again, the club will bring in pizza for dinner. We will be back in Suite 15, The Beverage People classroom. To help us order enough pizza, please let a committee member or someone at The Beverage People know you are coming.

MARCH 2010 MEETING: JUDGING IRON BREWER. March 21

Once again, Moira Dossi and Richard Peel have graciously offered to host the Iron Brewer Judging Session in March. They have relocated since last year to a new 5-acre property near their old one. The new address is 1670 Mark West Springs Road. Go through the gate and park.

The meeting will start at 1:00 PM on Sunday, March 21. A judging committee headed by Melissa Lopez and Janet Kelly are organizing the judging (celebrity commentators? Blind samples? Only time will tell...). Everyone in attendance will be able to participate in judging the beers. We will run the judging early, before anyone has done much other tasting, to keep palates sharp. Brew teams note: be sure to get there with your six-pack sample to be in the judging! (Samples should be in 12-ounce brown bottles with labels attached only with rubber bands and no markings on caps.) The winners will get Beverage People gift certificates. (No style talk at this one---plenty of Iron Beers to taste.)
