The next MHBA meeting is on July 19th from noon to 3 pm at Mighty Axe Hops. 16501 Buchannan Street NE, Ham Lake, MN 55304. They wanted to make sure we came to visit before the hops are harvested in the fall. Mighty Axe is a 1/4 acre (and growing) hop yard and MN hops hub with a story. Over a century ago Eric’s Great Grandfather tilled the land at the Sannerud farm with the values of hard work, collaboration and respect for the land. Nearly a hundred years later Eric wanted to do the same. Joined by his two good friends, Ben and Brian, and spurred by their love of Minnesota craft beer, they started to cultivate high quality, uniquely flavored, and environmentally sustainable hops; thus Mighty Axe Hops was born. http://www.mightyaxehops.com/

My thanks go out to Bob Norman, who not only purchased all the sausages and buns for the Saints game, but who grilled the sausages on his trailer-grill. Not only that, but he has volunteered to bring the trailer-grill up to Camp Nushka for the All-Club Camp-Out! Our club is in charge of the Camp-Out and Saturday evening meal, and the huge grill will be fantastic for the menu Bob and I are dreaming up. If you haven't made up your mind, you should just plan on camping August 1-3 up on Cass Lake. Rumor has it that there will be a pontoon available for cruising the lake with homebrew in hand! There's a sandy shore just a few steps from the fire pit, bicycle trails that start a few miles from the campground, no one within (literally--and I don't bandy that word about lightly) a mile of our site, a large, lovely pavilion (two, actually) in case of the r-word, and homebrew galore! What would you do that weekend that would be better? John
