Minutes from December 2013 CRABS holiday party
Date: Wednesday December 18, 2013
Place: Heavy Seas
  1. Once again the CRABS holiday party was a smashing success, with lots of great beers, food and people. Kudos to Rick Croup for bringing vintages of Sierra Nevada Celebration from 2005-2013.
  2. The officer "election" resulted in Trevor being ousted for prez and all other offices remaining the same.
    • President: Joe O'Keefe
    • Vice president: Jeff Adelsberger
    • Secretary: Ben Schwalb
    • Treasurer: Don Zwach
  3. Dues for 2014 are $20 for individual and $30 for family. Please pay Don in January if you haven't already.
  4. For our Iron Brewer competition in March, folks put ingredient ballots into a box and 3 were drawn at random. Your beer must contain at least 2 of the following ingredients:
    • cucumber
    • rosemary
    • sour cherries
  5. If you'd like a CRABS logo collared shirt, they are $25 each. See Trevor to purchase.
  6. Joel is a beer leader for the 2014 MASHOUT. If you want to be part of the organizing committee, let him know.
  7. The January "first Thursday" will be moved to the second Wednesday (January 8) to hear Chris A. give a talk at the Heavy Seas Ale House.
  8. The 750 swap had dozens of beers. Also, a number of beers were donated to Heavy Seas to thank them for their hospitality all year long.
