[Liquidpoets] March Meeting - 3/3 at Horse & Dragon

[Liquid Poets President]

Hello Poets!

Our March meeting will be held this week on March 3rd at Horse & Dragon
Brewing Company fro 7-9pm.  Sorry for the delayed email!  This excellent
weather has kept me away from my computer.


*Membership:*

If you haven’t renewed your Liquid Poets membership for 2016, please make
sure to come prepared to do so.  We will be cleaning out the email list
after the March meeting so make sure to get your dues paid in the next
month.  Single memberships are $25 and Couple memberships are $35.



*Tasting Panel:*

Since we seem to always have a lot going on at meetings, and those wanting
feedback on beers may not always remember to bring 2 bottles, we are going
to try something new with the tasting panel over the next couple of months.
We are going to ask those who are BJCP certified judges if they would be
willing to give one-on-one feedback to other members who are seeking it.  Those
BJCP members who are willing will have a special name tag denoting that
they are willing to take a minute or two and review your beer with you.  If
you are BJCP certified, and you are willing to help out other club members
at our meetings, please let one of the Board Members know and we will get
you setup with the special name tag.



*Beer Social:*

As usual, we will gather around the beer table for the first 15-20 minutes
of the meeting and greet new and old friends alike.  Bring something you
have made recently, something you have had aging for a while, or anything
in between.  Let’s sample some great home brew and generally relax for a
bit!



*Style of the Month:*

Overall the goal this year will be to have a couple of commercial examples
and a number of home brewed examples at each meeting.  The focus of the
table will be to examine the examples based on the BJCP Guidelines and see
how will they compare.  Hopefully this will be in informative table where
members can get down and dirty with the details of the chosen style.



March’s Style of the Month is Brown Ales: British Brown Ale (13B) and
American Brown Ale (19C).  Below is the full list for Style of the Month.
