Good morning folks,

Here's the agenda items for this Thursday's (January 15th) meeting. We will be meeting at 8PM at Nepenthe Homebrew. As always, bring a chair and some brew to share.

AGENDA:
1. Group Brew Details (Jan 18th)
2. New Club Positions/Questions
3. Dues reminder
4. Iron Brewer Challenge
5. Libation

 

Note that if you're competing in the iron brewer challenge, you should arrive a little earlier to try and ply as many people with your smokey wares as possible. Sampling for Iron Brewer is completely unstructured so bring a glass and be ready to try as many peated brews as you can before Brady gives us a run-down of what peated malt is and we vote on whose beer is yummiest (or least gross)!

 
Thanks Everyone,
Amy Huntington
Baltibrewer, Rapscallion, Hero

Tonight we will be meeting for our monthly December meeting at 8PM at Nepenthe Homebrew. For our holiday meeting we like to keep things more social than business so we'll try and limit the serious talk to things that are important and then move onto the sampling of the buuurrrrs. As always, bring a chair and some brew to share. And whether you can make it or not, we'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays. Travel safe and as always, drink good beer (even in the face of opposition such as corona drinkin' uncles or white zin drinkin' aunts):

Agenda:

  • JANUARY BREW DETAILS
  • 2015 MEMBERSHIP DUES
  • ELECTIONS
  • DRINKY DRINK.

Baltibrewers -

It's the third Thursday, so we'll be meeting, as usual, at 8pm at Nepenthe Homebrew. Please bring a chair and brew to share. The meeting part should be pretty quick this month. yay.

Agenda:

-Guild Holiday Party Deets
-January Brew Ideas
-Educational topic (TBD)
-"Sample" beers

It's already that third Thursday, Baltibrewers, and that means it's time to invade Nepenthe and discuss all things fermentable. We're hoping to make this meeting a little different in that it's happening during Baltimore Beer Week — as such, less business, more beer!

Prior to the meeting (4–7 p.m.), Nepenthe is hosting Virginia's Devil's Backbone for a tasting. If you can get there before the meeting, there might even be some beer left.

Agenda:

  • VERY brief Chilibrew 8 wrap-up, and thanks.
  • VERY brief promo for Mead Day (Saturday 11/1)
  • Gruit comp preview and request for volunteers
  • any Guild notes
  • Ed Topic — Surprise guest speaker, and tasting.

We hope to see you there.

It's that time again, Baltibrewers. Hard to believe it's already the third week in September, but this means it's time to meet at Nepenthe Homebrew at 8 p.m. tomorrow. 

Of key importance to this meeting is Chilibrew, so that will likely take up most of room on the agenda. In fact, our Ed Czars have given us all a break from class so we can focus on preparing for our Beer Week Final Exams.
So quickly, here's what we'll be talking about:
  • Chilibrew Chilibrew Chilibrew
  • Gruit Comp
  • General Beer Week Preparedness
  • Guild Notes (if any)
  • November Mead Day in White Hall
As usual, bring beer to share, and a chair.
Hope to see many of you there.

  2. Guild Picnic wrap up.
  3. Mashout — and more specifically, Baltibrew's involvement in Sour Hour (Jason and Detter to lead discussion).
  4. July Brew with Killer Ales (Subcommittee to discuss details)
  5. Waverly Main Street partnership opportunity (8/30 event)
