Maybe check your spam folder and see if it's in there. I actually sent out 3 emails that day, so hopefully you got them. </font><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif">It also says that we are meeting at Funkwerks on the calendar</span><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"> on LP website. Additionally, this info was also posted to the LP Facebook page. We will be going live with a new website within a few months, and it is my hope that more people will use the website once we have a nice modern site and forum. A lot of work is going on behind the scenes to get that done. As for doing a table with single hop beers, that's fine with me. We can make a table for that, so bring 'em if you got 'em. </font></p>

Our next LP meeting will be at Funkwerks on Thursday, March 7th @ 7:00 PM.<br><br>We will have a beer social for the first ~ 15 min. You can bring any homebrews you would like to share with the group.<br><br>1) We will be doing a tasting panel. If you have any beers (or meads and ciders) that you want specific feedback on please bring them. This is an opportunity to get very direct comments on beer attributes and style for your good or bad beers. Also, if you have beer that you know has a specific "problem" - bring it! This is a great educational opportunity to train other people on beer attributes and taints.<br>
<br>2) Sweet Stout (BJCP 13B) is the March style of the month. If you have a one, please bring it for the table. We will also have some commercial examples for this style. These discussions will be led by BJCP judges and are a great opportunity to really dissect the diversity and qualification for certain beer styles.</p>
