from
7-9pm on the 4th.

This month’s agenda:

*Board Challenge*: This month we are judging our board challenge . This
month's challenge is focused on the extract beers containing no more than
20% steeping grains. If you bring in a bottle, make sure to label it with
your name and the style. We'll announce the winners and give
out awards toward the end of the meeting.

*Beer Social*: For the first half hour of the meeting we hang out, meet and
greet old friends and new members alike. Try other’s homebrew and have
others try yours. Essentially geek out about our hobby for a bit. New
members, keep an eye out for Alison Rosso, she is our new member ambassador
and is happy to introduce you around! And don’t forget, this is a club of
homebrewers and homebrewers homebrew, so please bring in your homemade
fermented beverages to share!

*Tasting Panel*: This is a small break out group that gives each other
direct feedback on the homebrew you bring. This group more in depth and
direct than our beer social portion of the evening, but still not as formal
as other break out groups. If you’d like to get and/or give direct feedback
on homebrew, this is the group for you. If you have homebrew with a defect,
bring it here! This is an excellent opportunity to learn about defects, to
experience them, and to learn how to avoid them in the future.

*Style of the Month*: One of our most popular groups, this group reviews a
different BJCP subcategory every month. In this group you’ll go over the
category, drink some commercial examples and compare them with the
guidelines. Then repeat with beer brewed by club members! If you’re
interested in how BJCP judging works, this is an excellent group to get
involved with.

The style this month is *American Brown* (10C). I've tasted some really
excellent examples of this style at club meetings and I am hoping that some
folks will step up and bring in examples for the tasting.

And don’t forget to brew for the upcoming styles: October is Biere de Garde
and November is Oud Bruin (Flanders Brown Ale).

Cheers everybody!
Jason L Connor
