[Liquidpoets] LP Meeting on Thursday Dec. 6th at Odell Brewing Co. @ 7:00 PM

[Liquid Poets President]

Hey Poets,

Our next LP meeting will be at *Odell Brewing Co *on *Thursday* December *
6th *@ 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)  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.

>
2)  *American Barleywine* (BJCP: 19C) is the December style of the month.
 If you have a one, please bring it for the table.  We will bring a couple
commercial examples for calibration.  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!

3) *Iron Brewer Challenge:  *Our next Iron brewing challenge is by Jesse
McConnell.  It's fortified beers with spirits.  The goal is to create a
drink that showcases both a spirit(s) and a beer with balance and finesse.
 Note: It is illegal to distill at home and we (the club) is not promoting
making your own spirit but merely blending your homebrew with
a commercially available brand.  This will be judged at the February
Meeting.

4) Tis' the season for *Doc's goodie bag*.  Doc will be selecting and
presenting some holiday and seasonal beers at a separate table for many to
try.  The idea is to get an appreciation for what pro brewers are brewing
for the holiday season.  Everyone that participates will get to try his
lineup and vote on your favorite

5)  *2013 Board *elections last minute voting and results.  We will compile
the all the online ballots with the hand written ones and announce the new
board!

5) .*Liquid Poets winter party* coming up this Friday, Dec 7th.
