Almost too late to call this the May newsletter, but it's out and ready to download at http://mnbrewers.com/?300604/05_2011_Boiler.pdf I apologize on the file size this month. It's quite a bit larger than past issues due to several pictures. Brett

Cold Plate Special!

by Rick Oftel

Homebrewers, I know that someone out there needs a seven faucet jockey box. The post is from Duluth so it means you need to go on a road trip. If the link doesn't work, go to Duluth craigslist and search on cold plate. Just think how impressive it would be if our club stacked up and connected all of our jockey boxes at the same time. You could call it a wall of beer! 7 pass cold plate -<http://duluth.craigslist.org/for/2363235576.html> Sincerely, Rick Oftel ________________________________ 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

----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Patrick Fahey <plfahey(a)wustl.edu> To: Al Boyce <alboyce(a)comcast.net>, Steve Piatz <sjpiatz(a)gmail.com> Sent: Tue, 17 May 2011 17:00:33 -0000 (UTC) Subject: Minneapolis/St. Paul Beer School Hey guys- I just wanted to drop you guys a line about this Minneapolis/St. Paul Beer School thing that I'm doing, and hopefully you could pass it on. We're running "classes" every Wednesday from 5:30-6:30PM at the Happy Gnome in St. Paul. Each week were bringing in a different brewery to sample their beers and talk about their product. So far we've had Goose Island (who brought Sofie, Pepe Nero, Matilda, and Pere Jacques) and Artisanal Imports (who brought Tripel Karmeliet, Meantime IPA, La Trappe Quad in bottles and on tap, and Bockor Cuvee des Jacobin Rouge), and this week we have Summit coming in to sample cask versions of the EPA with different hop varieties in each. Sessions are free to attend and require no advance sign-up. Since we're still just getting started, I'd really appreciate it if you could pass this on to any craft beer enthusiasts you know, and hopefully I'll get to see you guys at a class or two! We don't exactly have a website set up, but all of our information can be found on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/mspbeerschool . Thanks much! -Pat Patrick L.

Road Cleaning Cancelled

by Rick Oftel

Fellow Homebrewers and club members; this is Rick Oftel here with a short club announcement. For the last 4 years, the MHBA provided "highway" clean-up services for a road in Hennepin County. This worked well as we were able to acquire bags and other supplies from a local facility in Bloomington just a few blocks away from my office. The events typically started with a coffee and roll and ended with a club funded BBQ. Times are tough. The individual that delivered supplies to this facility is not providing this service requiring someone to drive to Medina to acquire "official" bags. I am not opposed to driving however; I am not able to travel during normal business hours. Unless anyone else volunteers to make the bag pickup, I propose that I contact the county and advise them that we fulfilled our obligation, and are not able to continue. Suggestions and ideas welcomed. Sincerely, Rick Oftel ________________________________ 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.
