MHBA represent at Minneapolis Home Brew Day?

by Chip Walton

The City of Minneapolis is proclaiming Saturday, Dec. 10th "Minneapolis Home Brewing Day!" Council member John Quincy will be on hand at Northern Brewer Minneapolis at 1pm that day for a photo opportunity and to say a few words about the local homebrewing culture. It would be amazing if a bunch of MNBAers could be in attendance as well for the photo op and to represent homebrewing! Should only take about a half-hour... in the classroom at the new store @ 6021 Lyndale Ave. S. Looking into brewing some beers outside, too... but for now we'll definitely have a couple batches doing inside the classroom.

Last call for $109 Bucket-O-Honey

by Rick Oftel

Homebrewers, I'm working with a local bee-keeper who is willing to share his honey with the club for a very reasonable price. If you haven't sent your checks in, this is a great time. I'll be processing what I've received and turn these checks into wonderful 5 gallon buckets of liquid gold. If you haven't heard and are interested, let me know and I'll send you additional details. I'm hoping to get this finalized so bucket pickup can begin around Thanksgiving. No commercial quantities please. Sincerely, Rick Oftel Adventure is worthwhile. --Aesop-- ________________________________ This electronic message including any attachments ("Message") may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under trade secret and other applicable law.

by Al Boyce

This should be a fun one! Hope you can make it! - Al and Beth You are invited to a music party at our house! with music provided by CHUCK BRODSKY WHEN: Saturday, November 12, 2011 Showtime at 8pm WHERE: 3208 Edgewood Avenue South St.Louis Park, MN 55426 (952) 927-8968 Please RSVP by April 5 to: alboyce(a)comcast.net SUGGESTED FREE WILL DONATION: $15 payable to "CHUCK BRODSKY" (100% of ALL donations go to the musician!) If you would like to help share in the cost of the music - send a check to the address above. BRING: A non-perishable item for the Food Shelf. BYOB and a snack to share, Extra $$ for CDs, Musical instruments and voices - if anyone's interested in a jam afterwards. DETAILS: On Saturday night, November 12, Beth and I will be having a party to celebrate the music of CHUCK BRODSKY! Beth and I first heard Chuck Brodsky in an opening set for Lou and Peter Berryman. As much as I like the Berrymans, I found myself wishing that Chuck's set could go on longer! He did a song about road rage that will "Blow You Away", and his song about "Radio", the football waterboy affected me deeper than the movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr that was to follow. Comedy, political satire, heart-tugging pathos, and Chuck's true love - Baseball - all populate the lines of Chuck's songs. Chuck now makes his home in North Carolina, and he graciously agreed to come do a show for us! He doesn't get this way often enough - don't miss him! Please join us to party with Chuck Brodsky on Saturday, November 12, 2011, show time starting at 8pm. Mark your calendar - it's going to be a PARTY! - Al Boyce & Beth Williams For a Google map to our house, visit: http://tinyurl.com/c3r5f To check out Chuck Brodsky's website, visit: http://www.chuckbrodsky.com/ For a picture of Chuck Brodsky, visit: http://www.chuckbrodsky.com/press/photo3/CHUCK3_72dpi.jpg Please note: This is a private party, in our private home. This party is NOT a business nor is it a business related activity. It is simply a gathering of our friends and guests to enjoy live music, fellowship, food (a potluck) and fun. It is officially free (or else it might be considered a business), although voluntary contributions (suggested donation of $15 per person) are accepted on behalf of the artists. 100% of all contributions go directly to the performers. By invitation only.

Will the beers for the Nov-Dec COC be judged this Saturday or at a later date? I believe the deadline is Nov 25th. I have re-brewed my Roggenbier, but I won't be getting it into a keg until tonight (Nov. 2nd) and I don't think it will be ready to bottle until Monday or Tuesday next week. I can rush it if I need to. I think we should get this done in time to ship normally this time. Let me know.
