meeting! * If you are interested in hosting Belgian Dark Strong Ales,
please respond to me indicating your interest.  If we do not receive a
volunteer to host, we may have to postpone the panel. If you have a Belgian
Dark Strong, please bring for those to try.

*Mini-Comp: Taking Place in January *

The next LP mini-competition will be taking place at our January meeting
with the category being Porters.  This includes all styles of porters
(Baltic, Robust and Brown).  Winner will receive a gift certificate to Hops
and Berries and select the style for the next mini-comp.

Here is our regular meeting agenda:

*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 homebrewed beer,
cider, and mead, and have others try yours. Essentially geek out about our
hobby for a bit. New members, keep an eye out for the Board members who
will be introduced during the announcements; any of them will be 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. It will be run by an
experienced, long-time member of the club.  This group is more in-depth and
direct than our beer social portion of the evening, but still informal. 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.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 3rd!
Cheers,
Hermen
