[Liquidpoets] June Meeting!

[Liquid Poets President]

Hello Poets!

I hope you had a nice relaxing holiday weekend, I know I did, and that's
why this email is going out a bit late.  Apologies for that!

Our June meeting will be held this week on June 2nd at Snowbank Brewing
Company from 7-9pm.

*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!



*Mini Comp:*

The Black IPA challenge was won by Ben Gentry and he chose Peppercorn beers
as the next challenge. They will be judged according to the Spice category
and all base styles are acceptable. The next Mini Comp judging will be at
the August meeting.  Get brewing your best pepper corn beer and enter to
win and pick the next challenge!



*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.



June’s Style of the Month is Light Belgian Strongs: Blond Ale (25A), Golden
Strong Ale (25C), and Tripel (26C).  Below is the full list for Style of
the Month.  If you are interested in leading one of these tables, please
let me know and I'll get you penciled in.
