[Liquidpoets] LP meeting Thursday Feb. 1 at Odell Brewing

[Liquid Poets]

Greetings fellow Liquid Poets. This is just a reminder that this Thursday
(Feb. 1) is our meeting for the month at Odell Brewing Co. (800 E. Lincoln
Street) at 7PM. Remember to bring some sweet home brew (beer, mead, wine,
cider, etc.) to share with your fellow members. Please be generous and
considerate and bring enough so that more than a couple of people have a
chance to sample your brew (we sometimes have 40+ people at the meetings!).
If you don't have any home brew to share, commercial craft brew is always
welcome (hint, hint)!  We are also trying something new with the raffle: you
can use beer to buy raffle tickets and the winner gets half of the money and
ALL the beer! One 12 oz bottle gets you one ticket and one 22 oz bottle gets
you 2 tickets! Home brew or commercial beer will be accepted.

For those that are interested in entering this month's AHA club-only
competition, please bring your samples so that our judges can decide on the
best brew to send out on behalf of the club. We are going to use our own
BJCP-certified judges for this (we have about 8-9!) This months comp is for low
gravity/session beers that have an original gravity of 1.045 or less. This
may include beers from any of the following BJCP categories/sub-categories:


1. A, B, D (Light Lagers)
2. A, B, C (Pilsners)
4. A (Dark American Lager)
6. A, B, C, D (Light Hybrid Beers)
8. A, B (English Pale Ales)
9. A, B, C, D (Scottish and Irish Ales)
10. A, B, C (American Ale)
11. A, B, C (English Brown Ale)
12. A (Porter)
13. A, B (Stout)
15. A, B (German Wheat and Rye)
16. A (Belgian and French Ale)
17. A, C, D, E, F (Sour Ale)
20. (Fruit Beer)
21. A, B (Spice/Herb/Vegetable Beer)
22. B, C (Smoke-Flavored & Wood Aged Beers)

Please bring a couple of 12 oz bottles or a 22 oz bottle for sampling. Keep
in mind that if the judges select your brew that you have to cover half of
the shipping cost and half of the entry fee (as well as packaging materials)
to get it to CA by Feb. 8 for the final judging.

On a final note, there are a number of people that have NOT paid their 2007
dues (you probably received an e-mail from Jason/Jester). Please pay your
dues soon or you will be dropped from the e-mail list and lose your
privileges as a LP member. This is going to be a fun year so you don't want
to miss out. Again the dues are $20/ year or $25 for two people in the same
household. You can pay at the meeting or on-line at the LP club store using
PayPal (no credit cards!). Thanks and hope to see you all this Thursday
evening!

Cheers,  Remi
