Twin Cities Homebrewers:
This month kicks off a "Friday Before the Fhirst" series where local
brewers open their homes and breweries to fellow homebrewers. The
general idea is to offer some beer sampling and socializing from roughly
5-8 on the last Friday of the month, so people can still head out for
other Friday evening activities. However, the time frame is up to the
host, and Wayne Theuer, our initial host, is opening his home to ...
whenever. Anyone inclined to settle in for a long visit is welcome to
bring a sleeping bag. Wayne would appreciate hearing if you are
planning to attend. See above e-mail address.
So, this Friday, starting at 5, get yourself to:
2114 Boulder Pointe
Shakopee 55379
507-456-4439 (cell)
Basic directions: 169 South to Marystown exit (right)
Then right at first stop sign, followed by first left onto Vierling Dr.
When you get to Boulder Pointe turn right to 2114.

It would probably need Excel pivot charts, tables, and formulas but with
the "great" turn out of Minnesota judges I think the Lamo-o-meter would
be pegged at the lame end of the scale no matter how you do the
measurement.

Nope, no preliminary announcements.
On the fun side: Susan Ruud and I had a great time Saturday after the
event when Mark McAndrews took the time to show us around the good
beer places in Des Moines. We hit Racoon River Brewing and several tap
bars. One place had multiple Fullers beers (and others) on hand pumps
(the upstairs was Belgian beers). The another stop specialized in good
German beer on tap.
