>From our esteemed club President - yes, that's Eric! Hey all, Just an update on upcoming events for those not watching the Facebook group: <https://www.facebook.com/groups/148246435340668/> https://www.facebook.com/groups/148246435340668/ 1) Next meeting is at my place Sept 12 (1966 Fountain Lane in Waconia) at the usual start time of 6:30. Special tasting of the 2014 JAB experimental cereal beers! Mash paddle will go to whichever person nailed their cereal beer the best, but feel free to bring other homebrews to share as well. For those bringing a cereal beer--please try to bring an extra bottle or container for me (and maybe 1-2 others) to try later for a write-up. I'd like to see if BYO or Zymurgy would be interested in a write-up on this experiment. 2) Don't forget the JAB family cookout! This is the same weekend (Sunday Sept 14) from 1-5. Bring the kids! Bring the spouse! We will be providing some grillable meat products (probably brats and burgers) but if your kids have any weird dietary issues you may want to bring something else. Try to bring a side to share so we have more options! We will have the jockey box set up so bring a keg to share or some bottles. This has been a great event in the past, but we need enough people to show up to make this worth it! The event takes place at the Rosemount Pavilion in Eden Prairie (right across from Gander Mountain). 3) Byggvir's Big Beer Cup! The Renfest beer cup is upon us. Registration is open now until the 7th of September so get some beers in it! Also I highly recommend trying your hand at judging or stewarding for this competition--it is one of the most laid back and fun competitions to do this. Entrance to the fest if free if you volunteer. I'll be volunteering both days Sept 20-21. See you all soon! Eric
