Subject: [mnbrewers] Completely revamped "Beer Geeks" TV show looking for some MN help
A new completely revamped Beer Geeks show (new host, new production company) have gone national, but need help being back in the Minnesota market. Give them a hand and tell our local channels you'd like to see the new season here in MN.
Here's a sneak peek:
<http://vimeo.com/49308844#at=0> http://vimeo.com/49308844#at=0
They have 10+ episodes in the can including trips to Avery, Stone, Lost Abbey, New Belgium, etc...
Fellow craft beer lovers,
Join us in celebrating the first official Minnesota Beer Geeks Day. It is a day to raise a pint to celebrate the first ever Nationally Syndicated show about craft beer, Beer Geeks, which debuts all across the county in September. Beer Geeks will be seen coast to coast in cities from Boston to Chicago to Denver to Portland, and just about every place in between. But so far, no television station in Minnesota has signed up. Please help us to insure that Minnesotans get to see this show that takes its beer loving viewers deep inside the great and growing world of craft beer. The breweries! The characters! The food and beer pairings! The passion! The camaraderie!
Don't miss out. Tomorrow, on Beer Geeks day, tell Minnesota TV stations you want your Beer Geeks. On their air!
We need a groundswell. So please contact the program directors of Minnesota's TV stations right away. And get your friends and fellow beer lovers to join you in bringing Beer Geeks to Minnesota, which we all know is one of the craft beer capitols of the country,

Good Afternoon JABers,
We are set for the Big Brew Day on Saturday, May 4th, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. at the Excelsior Brewing Company. The only issue is that we have yet to have anyone commit to bringing their brewing system to set up and brew there... which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the event! I understand that a lot of us (myself included) do not have brewing systems that are conducive to transporting. So unless someone steps up... we may be cancelling or switching it into a general social event. I know Excelsior said they would want us to come out either way, but who wouldn't want a bunch of rabid beer drinkers at their establishment...
So if someone is willing to step up and bring their system please let me know.

Hey friends,
As some of you may know Better Beer Society and The Homebrew Chef Sean Z. Paxton are collaborating on an educational beer dinner this Friday, April 26th at 6pm at Republic in Uptown.
We only have roughly 20 tickets left for this event, and I wanted to make sure that every homebrewer at least knew about this dinner, so that we can get the right people attending, ones who will really appreciate it.
I am wondering (if nothing else is pressing) if you would be willing to share this info to your members, through your social media channels or websites.
I have attached both the poster art, as well as the menu, which is impressive as always and expected for a Sean Paxton dinner.
Cheers, and thank you. Hope to see you on Friday!
~Rob

The Lagunitas Brewing Company is sponsoring a homebrew contest exclusively for AHA sanctioned home-brew clubs in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (This means us!).
The winning homebrewer (along with 3 others chosen at amongst the entire contest) will win a paid trip to California this coming May 29th-31st to visit the Lagunitas Brewery and have the opportunity to brew a beer (which will be sold back in our Minneapolis/St. Paul market)! The competition is looking for a beer that 'consumers would enjoy drinking'; no lagers, fruit/spices or herbs can be used and must be made with an American yeast.
If your interested, here's what you'll need to do: Bring some bottles to share at our next JAB meeting (which is on March 3rd at The Great Tim Roets house in Chaska). We will then vote on (as a club) the one best beer fitted for this competition. The winning brewer will then need to supply a six-pack (to be used for official judging) before May 3rd, 2013.
To look at the official details and guidelines, visit this url: http://db.tt/XrZyEVRm
Let me know if you have any questions!

I am new to your mailing list. I am interested in joining your club, but I
am not sure and how to join up or who to contact. I have 15+ years of
brewing experience and I do all-grain. I also make mead and cider.
Thanks

Subject: ONE seat available for BJCP taste exam tomorrow
Fellow judges -
Due to a drop-out, we have ONE seat available for the BJCP tasting exam

person to respond takes it.
If you are trying to IMPROVE your score, cost is $15. If you are a
first-time taker, you need to bring your certificate of passing for the
online exam, and $40.
Let me know!
-Al
Hmm, you might be correct. Let's see how many people bring appropriate beers and decide then. I've got two!<br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
Hey all!
Sorry there was no Jabber this past month, that is my fault entirely. Tim was busy and I dropped the ball, so Next month!
Next meeting is this Friday at my house: 1966 Fountain Lane, Waconia around 6:30. Open mash paddle this month, so bring your homebrews to try out! Gera should be giving a quick talk about BJCP judging, so make sure to be polite and stay quiet during her presentation!
Upcoming stuff:
May meeting is our Belgian Brew Off. There is still time to brew a belgian for this if you hurry (I need to keg up a couple...)
The JAB facebook Group is up and running--If you haven't been invited to it yet, shoot me a facebook message or post on the JAB regular facebook site and I'll get it to you.
Shirts are ordered and should arrive soon. If you haven't paid up yet, make sure to bring money or checks to pay the piper (or Steven.)
I believe we are scheduled with Excelsior for a Big Brew Day event, details to follow.
Our first wine barrel brew is percolating in it's new wine barrel home. If you want to be involved in populating the next brew for it, send me an e-mail or post on the facebook group and we'll make sure you get a chance at it. We are leaning toward doing a lambic...
See you all soon,
--Eric
