<div>Disappointing Brian, I'll not be doing schizandra berry...</div><div><br></div>The rule for the Iron Brewer will be Tea or Coffee beers/wines/meads (except for stouts/porters with coffee (that's just old hat)). <div>
<br></div><div>It will be judged as to the best overall balance.</div><div><br></div><div>I should mention that you can make amazing session (3.5-7.5%) meads quite easily in 3 months (I'm shooting to push under 2 months with my current batch). I will gladly help you with recipes/processes.</div>
<div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">The judging will be in July (since the June meeting will be a bit cramped with both WEIZ guys and Liquid Poets at Grimm Bros).</div><div>
<br></div><div>The judges will see:</div><div>1) Base type of beer.</div><div>2) Type of tea or coffee.</div><div>3) (and taste) The beer/wine/mead.</div><div><br></div><div>Tea includes leaf, chai, and herbal teas... Coffee includes both cold and hot brewed coffees...</div>
<div><br></div><div>I will not enter this contest, as I think it would be more fun to judge... </div><div><br></div><div>I'll also give 4lbs of Centennial hops to the winner, 2 lbs for second, and 1lb for third. (Note: 2008 hop harvest, indirectly donated via NBB).</div>

The meeting starts at 7:00 but show up at 6:30 for a tour. We will have the usual announcements and tasting panel plus, as an added bonus, Kyle will lay down the rules for the next Iron Brewer Challenge (c'mon <span style="line-height:13px;font-family:arial, sans-serif"> <em style="font-style:normal">schizandra berry!) We're still coordinating another New Belgium keg buy and I'm hopeful that we'll have the 2011 LP tasting glasses for our members in the next few meetings.</em></span><div>
