[Liquidpoets] April LP Meeting

[Liquid Poets President]

Poets and Muses,

It's time again to get ready for our next club meeting. This one will be
held April 3rd at
Coopersmith's<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Coopersmith's+Pub+%26+Brewing/@40.587223,-105.075551,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x87694a8b294a847b:0x54c8041cd2497764>
on
the Pool side from 7-9pm.

This month's format will be:

*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. Allison
Rosso is now our official *"New Member Ambassador"*. The role will be
explained and Allison will be pointed out during announcements. But if
you're a new member, seek her out. She'll be happy to explain the club,
chat with you about your homebrew, and introduce you around!

*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.

*BJCP Panel*: This is our newest break out group. If you want to learn how
BJCP judging works and/or how your homebrew might possibly be judged in a
competition. This is the group for you. You can either volunteer to judge
or bring a dedicated bottle of homebrew for the panel to judge or (of
course) both. You'll sit with the judges and go over a BJCP scoresheet with
them. The'll give you feedback on all of the qualities of your homebrew
that get scored in a competition, this panel is very fun and quite
informative. I highly recommend it if you are interested in competition.

*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.

This style this month is *Oatmeal Stout*, yum! If you've brewed one, please
bring it.

The style of the month for May is: American IPA and for June is Melomel (Fruit
Mead made with fruit other than apples or grapes).

Cheers everybody! I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
Jason L Connor
