<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If
you haven’t renewed your Liquid Poets membership for 2016, please make sure to

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Tasting Panel:</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Since
we seem to always have a lot going on at meetings, and those wanting feedback
on beers may not always remember to bring 2 bottles, we are going to try
something new with the tasting panel over the next couple of months.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We are going to ask those who are BJCP certified
judges if they would be willing to give one-on-one feedback to other members
who are seeking it.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Those BJCP members
who are willing will have a special name tag denoting that they are willing to
take a minute or two and review your beer with you.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If you are BJCP certified, and you are
willing to help out other club members at our meetings, please let one of the
Board Members know and we will get you setup with the special name tag.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Beer Social:</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As
usual, we will gather around the beer table for the first 15-20 minutes of
the meeting and greet new and old friends alike.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Bring something you have made recently,
something you have had aging for a while, or anything in between.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Let’s sample some great home brew and
generally relax for a bit!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Style of the Month:</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Overall the goal this year will be to have a
couple of commercial examples and a number of home brewed examples at each
meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The focus of the table will be
to examine the examples based on the BJCP Guidelines and see how will they
compare.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Hopefully this will be in
informative table where members can get down and dirty with the details of the
chosen style.</p>
