[Liquidpoets] April Meeting

[Liquid Poets President]

One thing I forgot to mention is that the next iron brewer challenge will be
judged at this meeting. So if you brewed a breakfast beer bring it, five
bucks, and see what happens. That also means that the next IBC will be
announced shortly, so keep your ears perked for the details.
