Just a quick thanks to the board members who assisted with our brewing event last evening. In about 4 hours, we brewed up a double batch of "Big Butt-O-Honey Porter" using the beer kit supplied from our friends in North Dakota. Assistants included Mike Swally and Barb, Mike Moranz, and Dr. Jim. The event went quite smoothly with no major accidents, spills, or clogged pipes or fittings and BBOHP is fermenting very rapidly requiring temporary installation of blow off tubes. The event also included discussion and event planning for the Christmas party, advanced planning for the February officer elections, and planning and discussions about future meetings and the all important Campout. Remember, this year, the MHBA hosts the statewide campout and you better plan on having fun! Numerous house beers were available on tap and in bottles and other varieties were specially delivered for the event. Catering, provided by a unnamed pizza delivery service, provided a thoroughly mediocre and slightly warm pizza to a hungry crowd. Please give some thought about helping your club by volunteering for a prestigious position. Contact any of the club officers for more information. May your bubbles turn into warm smiles as the weather turns cool. Rick Oftel

by Moranz, Mike

My previous posting with the keg info was meant to motivate someone out there to organize a purchase if anyone is interested. I've gotten some e-mails expressing interest but don't have the time to check this out. If someone can coordinate a purchase please post your contact info for everyone. Thanks.

Drink the best beers from the original sources

by Roger Deschner

There are STILL very few American-made Altbiers that are any good. So the admonition to buy a plane ticket, in my 1994 Zymurgy article, still holds. Air fares may never be lower than these: o Dusseldorf Altbier in the actual Altstadt - $290 RT o Real English ale in an actual London pub - $250 RT Fares are round trip on non-stop flights from Chicago on United. See united.com for restrictions etc. Roger Deschner rogerd(a)uic.edu ************************************************************************ * This message, including any attachments hereto, is intended for the * * purpose for which it was intended.

Visiting Wallonia?

by John Sturm

Someone mentioned a couple of weeks ago that they were planning a trip to the south of Belgium. Here is a link to a "report" written by a beer tourist who spent a week there. Hope it's not too late. http://www.cmg.net/belgium/clubhub/message/funstuff/ardennes.html John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
