[Liquidpoets] LP February 2016 Meeting at Zwei Brewing

[Liquid Poets President]

Hello Poets!



Our February meeting will be held next week on February 4th at Zwei Brwing
Company from 7-9pm.  A few notes about this month’s meeting.



*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 would 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 usually, we will gather around the beer table for the first 15-20
minutes of the meeting and great 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:*

Sorry for the delay in getting the schedule communicated to everyone, but
below is the schedule we will follow in 2016 for 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.



February’s Style of the Month is Flanders Red (23B) and Oud Bruin ales
(23C).  Since I didn’t get this list out in time for anyone to brew a beer
for February, I’m hoping that some of our resident “Sour Heads” in the club
bring some home brewed examples for the table!  If you are interested in
leading one of these tables, please let me know and I'll get you penciled
in.
