September 2013

  1. Heavy Seas's new hospitality manager Dan Bueter gave us a tour of the newly expanded brewery, with a brand spanking new cold room and tasting room. The tasting room will eventually be a bar where they can sell beer by the pint. There is also an outside deck. Looks like we have a new local hangout.
  2. There were some great beers, both homebrewed and commercial. Kudos to Drew Morgan for his great Belgian IPA and to Craig Bryant for bringing some Three Floyds beers.
  3. In case you haven't heard, MASHOUT will move to a new location next year, but rest assured it WILL happen!
  4. Crabs4CRABS was a great success. Lots of people came out.
  5. It's beer season. Woohoo! Here is a list of upcoming events:
  6. We want to do the Iron Brewer contest again. We're looking for a better way to determine the special ingredients. Any ideas?
  7. This month's competition was Pale Ales. We had about 10 or 12 entries. The winners were:
    • 4th place (tie) - Joe O'Keefe
    • 4th place (tie) - Rick Croup
    • 3rd place - Jason Heinen
    • 2nd place - Craig Bryant
    • 1st place - Kevin Rimlinger
  8. See y'all at the next meeting on October 16.
