Prairie Homebrewing Companion members and friends,
The PHC's annual holiday party will be held on Saturday January 15 from
1 to 5 PM at:
Evergreen Conference Center
302 27th St N
Fargo, ND
You are welcome to join us. This is a potluck because if you can make
good beer, you can make great food (if history is any indicator and it
surely is). More info:
To do:
Purchase $10 tickets early to ensure you get a commemorative glass or
just show up at the door (we WILL have a glass for you to drink from).
Make or purchase a food or drink item to share, it's a potluck
Purchase a $10 exchange gift item
Bring a few bottles of "good" beer for the beer raffle
Don't bring plates, bowls or utensils, they will be provided (serving
pieces for your potluck item is a good idea)
At the party:
Taste all 10 beers (one made very month since March 2004!) with your
Holiday Party 2004 glass and vote for your favorite 3
Eat lots of great food
Get door prizes
Congratulate the Achievement Award winner
Sympathize with the Lightweight Award winner
Visit with friends old and new
Its going to be a great time and it will be even better if you can come!
See you in a week,
PHC Holiday Party Organizing Committee.
P.S. Pass this along to anyone you think might be interested in a great
time with a wonderful bunch of homebrewers.
The New Year is upon us, and it is time for us to resolve to change ourselves for the better--and what better way to do so than to make a small amount of Brew Year Resolutions!
Resolution #1: Enter, judge, steward, and attend the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out--January 27-29 Go to mnbrewers.com for details. The word on the street is that this might be a throw-down between the MHBA and the SPHBC, to be won by the club with the most points! And who can resist the scrumptious catered beer banquet that precedes the awards ceremony? Never entered a homebrew contest?--there's a category just for you folks.
Resolution #2: Commit yourself and your brew kettle to defeating QUAFF (and all other homebrew clubs) in the AHA Nationals competition in April and June. Many folks have sent me a list of beers that they promise to brew and enter this year, and we already have a 12-point lead on QUAFF going into the competition, thanks to Kris England's first place in the Smoked and Wood-Aged club-only competition! Don't delay--send me your list of what you will brew and enter, please!
Each entry helps much, but we definitely need more folks to volunteer to brew lagers of all sorts, light ales, Scottish ales, porters, IPAs, weiss beer, Belgian and French ales, and spiced and smoked ales. That's categories 1, 3-6, 9, 12, 14-16, and 21-22 for those of you checking your 2005 BJCP style guidelines at bjcp.org! Remember to sign up to judge and steward this early April event when the time comes, because the Twin Cities are a first-round judging site! No shipping hassles for our entries!
Resolution #3: Convince, coerce, cajole--heck, just DRAG a fellow homebrewer to a club meeting. More people means more ideas, more energy, and MORE BEER!
Thanks for your attention, and let's work together (after the dust from the UMMO grudge match settles) to be the American Homebrewers Association's CLUB OF THE YEAR!
John
(Mr. "obsessed with MN being the AHA Club of the Year")
Three! Three!
Even if you entered 30, it wouldn't be enough! ;-)

You know what they say about all talk and no action. Just like people use the word assume.
I am almost ready to start bottling. After reading your flaming message, I am even closer! Heck, I may enter as many as three.

Get rrrrready to rrrrrumble!
Who will take the UMM Blizzard Cup? Which brew club will reign supreme?
We're about 3 weeks out from the first round of judging for the Upper
Mississippi Mash-Out.
If you plan to judge or steward, please make sure you sign up in advace.
If you don't sign up in advance and just show up at the last minute, we
can't gaurantee you a judging spot. We'll do our best to fit you in, but
you'd be much better off taking the 5-10 mintues in advance so we can plan
appropriately.
Surf on over to http://mnbrewers.com/mashout to register to judge or
steward.
All judges and stewards get a commemorative beer. We'll also have some prize
drawings for judges, stewards and staff during each
day of judging.
Let me know if you have any questions.
