from
7-9pm on the 9th.

This month’s agenda:

*Board Challenge*: This month we are issuing the latest board challenge:
Xmas Beers! Brew a beer for the holidays and we'll judge it in January.

*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 *Bière de Garde*. This has to be one of the most
esoteric styles in the world. I've got some amazing commercial examples to
try. I also know there's a few of you in the club that brew this beer. I'm
seriously hoping to see a homebrew or two.

And don’t forget to brew for the upcoming styles: November is Oud Bruin
(Flanders Brown Ale) and December is Baltic Porter.

Cheers everybody!
Jason L Connor
