[Liquidpoets] July LP Meeting - The Mayor of Old Town @ 7:00 PM

[Liquid Poets President]

I forgot to mention.  The next AHA club only competition is Porter in
August.  We will be judging these beers at the August meeting.  If you want
to represent the club with your porter - bring it (them) to the August
meeting.  Depending on what type of porter you make, there is still time
left to get one brewed.  So......do it!

Just for clarity.  This is not the style of the month for August and any
BJCP (Category 12: Brown, Robust, or Baltic) Porter is acceptable - others
are not.

Cheers,

Joe
