Try other’s homebrewed beer, cider, and mead, and have others try yours. Essentially geek out about our hobby for a bit. New members, keep an eye out for the Board members who will be introduced during the announcements; any of them will be happy to introduce you around! And don’t forget, this is a club of homebrewers and homebrewers homebrew, so please bring in your homemade fermented beverages to share!</p><p dir="ltr" style="font-size:13px">Tasting Panel: This is a small break-out group that gives each other direct feedback on the homebrew you bring. It will be run by an experienced, long-time member of the club. This group is more in-depth and direct than our beer social portion of the evening, but still informal. If you’d like to get and/or give direct feedback on homebrew, this is the group for you. If you have homebrew with a defect, bring it here! This is an excellent opportunity to learn about defects, to experience them, and to learn how to avoid them in the future.</p><p dir="ltr" style="font-size:13px">Style of the Month: One of our most popular groups, this group reviews a different BJCP subcategory every month. In this group, you’ll go over the category, drink some commercial examples, and compare them with the guidelines. Then repeat with beer brewed by club members! If you’re interested in how BJCP judging works, this is an excellent group to get involved with.</p><p dir="ltr" style="font-size:13px">Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 1st!</p><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-size:small">Cheers,</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:small">Hermen <div><br><div>The Liquid Poets</div><div>Homebrewing Society<br></div></div></div><div><a href="http://www.liquidpoets.com/" style="font-size:small;color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://www.liquidpoets.com</a></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
