MHBA dues reminder

by Paul_Dienhart＠cargill.com

To: Minnesota Home Brewer Association members (all 170 of you) We are now on an annual system for memberships. All 2007 memberships are up at the end of this month. For those folks who didn't renew at the Xmas Party, send me your 2008 dues ($15, same as last year) and I will mail out your laminated card for 2008. For those who paid in advance for 2008, I will be sending out your card in the next couple weeks. If you're not sure what year your membership lapses, just send me an e-mail. To renew, send a $15 check made out to MHBA to: Paul Dienhart MHBA Treasurer 2344 Nottingham Crt. Minnetonka, MN 55305 Last year, we had a deal where dues were $15 a year or $2 per month, whatever was cheapest. This year we will offer that only to new members, so there is no financial advantage to delaying your renewal. We will be asking the local homebrew shops to please check for 2008 cards before giving the 10 percent discount. Thanks! Paul Dienhart MHBA secretary/treasurer

has anyone carried growlers through in checked luggage?

by Crist, Jonathan

I've carried many bottles through successfully padded well in luggage, but what about growlers? Will growlers stay sealed (not leak) in luggage? A co-worker wants to carry a few Surly growlers with him as he travels home. Jonathan

Brewing For A Cause ( Benefit )

by jeffluskey＠starband.net

Hi everyone, Just wanted to inform all you folks that there is a beer tasting taking place on this Wednesday night at Picosa (65 SE Main street Minneapolis.) It is sponsored by "The Onion" I am unsure of which breweries and how many will be there, But I have heard through the grape vine that Bell's is going to have there beers there. This is a benefit to raise money for the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation to aid in the research for a cure and develop treatments to improve the quality of life of the individuals affected with the disease. For more on the disease itself go to www.umdf.org The event starts 8:00 pm and ends at 11:00. Tickets are $15.00 each at the door. For more information please call The Onion at 612 370-1372. This event has nothing to do with the home brew judging that The Onion is also sponsoring. I hope to see all of you at the 2007 Brewing For A Cause. Thanks in advance Jeff Luskey
