[Liquidpoets] January LP Meeting

[Liquid Poets President]

Poets and Muses,

Our next meeting will be January 2nd at Odell Brewing
Company<http://bit.ly/1gzDg4a> from
7-9pm.

The format of  the meeting will be largely the same as past meetings:

   - We'll have a beer social for the first 30 minutes or so before
   breaking out into a few different groups.
   - We'll conduct a tasting panel. This is an opportunity for you to get
   direct feedback about specific beers/wines/meads/ciders/etc. that you have
   brewed. If you have a beer with a defect, please bring it, this is an
   opportunity for everyone to learn about defects and for you to learn what
   caused it and how to avoid it in the future.
   - The styles of the month for 2014 have already been posted. The style
   for January is any Scottish session beer (60/70/80 and, yes, even 90 (not
   an actual BJCP style, but what the hell)). If you are interested in how
   BJCP judging works, this is the table for you. We'll discuss the BJCP style
   guidelines and the club will provide some commercial examples to try and
   compare to the guidelines. You are encouraged to brew for these sessions
   and homebrewed examples will sampled and compared against the guidelines as
   well. (And are always the tastiest and best beers at the table!) So if you
   have one, please bring it in.
   - BJCP panel. We're starting something new in January. Being headed up
   by Jay Shambo, the club will provide you the opportunity to have your beer
    judged by BJCP judges and folks training to be judges, just as it would in
   a competition. To participate, you need to bring in a bottle to submit to
   the table, including some basic information: BJCP category, OG, FG, ABV,
   and IBUs. You will get back a BJCP score sheet with a written review and
   scores in each category. If you want to know how something you brewed will
   stack up, bring it in for the BJCP panel.
