I am planning on giving a brief tour before the meeting if there are enough
people interested. Plan on leaving the taproom at 6:30 pm.

Hey Poets,


Wow, July was a crazy month.  I can't believe it's already August.   Once
again, I apologize for the late communication.

Our next LP meeting will be at *Funkwerks.* on *Thursday* *August 2nd* @
7:00 PM.

We will have a beer social for the first ~ 15 min.  You can bring any
homebrews you would like to share with the group.

1)  Andy Mitchell will be giving a talk/presentation on water chemistry in
brewing.  This should be a real treat and we will start the meeting off
with this talk.

2)  We will be doing 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.

3)   Fruitbeer * * (BJCP: 20a) is the August style of the month.  If you
have a fruit beer, please bring it for the table.  There will be
commercial examples for calibration and tasting and then we will get into
the homebrews.  These discussions will be lead by BJCP judges and is a
great opportunity to really dissect the diversity and qualification for
certain beer styles.  For brewers who are interested in learning how
competition beer judging works - this is the table to be seated at!

4)  AHA club only competition is Porter BJCP Category 12.  We will be
juding these beers at the meeting.  If you have a Brown, Robust, or Baltic
Porter and would like to represent the club, bring it to the meeting.  Only
need one bottle for judging at the meeting.  The club will pay entry fees
and shipping costs for the winning porter.  (See BJCP.org for more info on
the different Porter styles.)

5)  Mike and Ashley Barnhart will be hosting on Sunday, August 5th.  They
can host up to 8 people. We'll have more information about directions and
times at the meeting.

6)  Doc has announced his next Iron Brewer Challenge - *Chile Pale Ale*.
 Chile can be interpreted however you like, but the base style is an
American Pale Ale.  We should be judging this beer on Sept. 6th so get them
brewed.

7)  National mead day is August 4th!  You should make some mead!
