Hey everyone.
I have been working with Ken Liss at Premier Cheese Market to set up this event. We are all familiar with cheese being paired with wine, but what about beer?
Event: Beer and Cheese Paring
Date: Sunday, November 18 from 5-7 pm
Location: Premier Cheese Market
5013 France Ave SMinneapolis, MN 55410
Cost: $15
Ken is selecting cheeses to be paired with beers donated by Summit. Premier Cheese Market was voted by the City Pages as having the best selection of cheese in the Twin Cities, so I am sure that are going to be some tasty treats.
Space is limited to 25 participants.
If you are interested, send a check made out to "Premier Cheese Market" to Gera Exire LaTour at 3757 Dupont Avenue N., Minneapolis, MN 55412
I will also be at Barley John's on Saturday.
-Gera

Also, the November club meeting is TOMORROW at Barley John's in New
Brighton, from 10am to 2pm. It is also American Homebrewer's Association
national TEACH A FRIEND TO HOMEBREW DAY, so bring along a friend or two who
has said they might be interested in learning how to homebrew. We will be
doing three demonstrations throughout the day of how to brew extract beer,
and we will be giving away two or three COMPLETE homebrewing kits, from
kettle to extract, to get new brewers started!
The Style of the Month is Pilsner, so if you have a homebrewed example,
bring it along. The best one will be selected to represent the MhBA in the
AHA National Club-Only Pilsner competition. Bring along any other beers,
meads, or ciders you'd like to share with your fellow club members as well.
Chris Smith will also be bringing fresh apple cider for those who
pre-ordered through the club buy, so be sure to come and pick up your cider
if you've ordered some.
See you at Barley John's tomorrow!

I will be all-grain brewing this Sunday, Nov 4, starting at 9am, and anyone
interested in learning about all-grain is welcome to come watch. The
"All-grain" portion of the brew should be done by noon, if that's the only
part you want to see. The remaining portion (boil, chill, pitch) will be
just as if you were doing a full-volume extract version.
Bring beer and breakfast snacks! If you want to hang around for the boil
etc, you're welcome also. I can fire up the grill at noon - byo weenies (or
whatever.)
