You don't have to bowl well . . .

by John Longballa

. . . to come drink homebrew and roll a few balls Monday night! I'm certain that there are more members who would like to bowl at a private lanes than I've heard from so far. It's simple--you show up Monday (with your family!) with some homebrew and possibly snacks, you hang out with your fellow club-mates, and roll a game or two in a low-stress environment. We're the only people there to judge you and your bowling ability, and I promise that there won't be strobe lights or a greasy odor in your hair when you leave!! :) http://www.mnbrewers.com/events/event/bowling-for-homebrew-2/ John Personal.

FW: St Patrick's Day Homebrew Contest in Winona, MN

by Al Boyce

Wanna judge beer in Winona on St.Patrick’s Day? - Al From: Jason Strangstalien [mailto:jason@bluff.coop <mailto:jason@bluff.coop> ] Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 5:07 PM To: alboyce(a)comcast.net <mailto:alboyce@comcast.net> Subject: St Patrick's Day Homebrew Contest in Winona, MN Hello, My name is Jason Strangstalien, I am organizing our annual St Patrick's Day Homebrew Contest in the beautiful bluff country of Winona, MN. Winona is located 116 miles south of Minneapolis right on the Mississippi River. This contest will take place on Saturday, March 19th 2016. The judging location is in Winona, MN. We are breaking up the judging into 3 sessions, beginning at 9am, lunch at 11am (provided), 12pm noon, and 2:30pm. For each session, a team of two will be going through 8 homebrews. There will be tentatively 8 teams of 2 for each session (depending on final amount of entries received). It would be awesome if the judges could be here for all 3 sessions, but if you can come for 2 or even 1 sessions, we would appreciate it. The BJCP judges will be teamed up with an experienced homebrewer we select from the Rochester-La Crosse-Winona area. There will be a second meal provided after the final session wraps up. Contest/event details are on www.bluff.coop/homebrewcontest <http://www.bluff.coop/homebrewcontest> After the judging we will announce the winners and give out the prizes. We will have 2 or 3 homebrews on tap from our local homebrewers to enjoy during our informal awards ceremony. It should be a great time, and a great way to celebrate St Patrick's Day in the bluff country! I hope that you can make it! Thanks for the consideration, Jason Strangstalien

FW: Mashout Banquet Details

by Al Boyce

Interesting menu! - Al -----Original Message----- From: webmaster(a)mashout.org [mailto:webmaster@mashout.org] Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 6:44 PM To: webmaster(a)mashout.org Subject: Mashout Banquet Details Date: January 30th 2016 Time: 6:00PM (doors open at 5:30PM) Location: Grumpy's Roseville IMPORTANT: Banquet ticket sales will close around 5:00 PM on January 25th. tl;dr? You can just buy your tickets here: http://mashout.org/reg/banquet2016.php Saturday night in general.... This year's banquet is going to follow last year's format again, but this time we are doing a beer-pairing dinner with beers from the great folks at Goose Island. The cost is $60/person and will sell out. Guys, I know it seems like $60 is a lot for a dinner and frankly, the only complaints we got from the mashout was how expensive the banquet is. Some people even said that we were getting to big for our britches and trying to make loads of cash. Firstly, $60 for a beer and food dinner with the quality and number (6) of beers isn't found regardless of the quality of the food...'cept we have some great grub set up!!! Seeing its relatively spendy, we had a lot of requests last year to make things a little more exotic than your standard banquet fare. We agree completely so turned chef loose on what he calls 'The African Safari'. We do understand not everyone will want want to partake and we'll sell out to boot so not everyone will get to play. Worry not, they've got a complete kitchen upstairs too!! Awards The awards banquet starts sometime after 7:45PM. If you are just coming for the awards portion (that's free), please wait in Grumpy's (grab a nice beer from their great selection of taps) until the doors open which we'll do as soon as the banquet is finished. Please be mindful and don't try to sneak in before and doubly mindful the attendees have paid for their beer and food so it's not open season on left overs. That being said, you are more than welcome to bring in beers to share at the awards! How can we have an awards ceremony without drinking!? That would be silly. Most importantly, as always, there will be the ever massive raffle and silent auction which always has loads of brewing, brewery and beer swag and libations. We'll be selling raffle tickets upon door opening. As we said, don't worry, it won't close until the end of the awards so if you aren't at the banquet, you'll still get your shot at some killer stuff! Banquet For your $60, here's what you get: - Raffle ticket - Goose Island beers paired with each course - A great night with great food and beer and company (we can promise the latter) Beer This year again, our good buddy Rich Heller from Goose Island has gone out of his way to bring some wonderful beers to pair with all the great food below. He'll give us a brief little synopsis of what he thinks will go best with what but its up to you to pour them in your own glass. If there is one thing we had too much of last year, it was beer...and thats never a bad thing!! Here is a little list from last year, that will be similar to what we'll have this year. Honkers, Sofie, Matilda, Pepe Nero, Pere Jacques, and Lolita. Menu Mains Piri Piri Chicken - With history of both Portugal and Mozambique you won't be able to get enough of this this spice laden dish. Chile peppers, ginger, garlic brings thoughts to the Caribbean where there are many offshoots of this dish. Zaire beef and ground nut stew - Not stew in the way you think of the soupy Dinty Moore-type. This is much more of the really thick and very rich type. Beefy, spicy, hearty, and very fragrant ground nuts (which are peanuts). Sides Tanzanian mango and cucumber salad - Cucumbers, mangos, salady bits, fresh and bright to cut all the meaty and starchy goodness of the other dishes. Nigerian Fried dodo and cassava - If you've never had fried plantains and yucca (YUCCA FRITA!?) you will be thanking us for introducing you to these addictive golden brown and delicious gems. Sexy sweet potato - If you were full enough, rich and tasty sweet potatoes go right along as a side to all the other amazing flavors. Savory coconut rice - All over Africa and the Caribbean this is an absolute staple. If there was a single thing you could literally just sit and eat by itself, its coconut rice. Or put anything on top of it. Desserts Yes yes yes none of these are African. We understand that but sometimes, every once in a while, one needs their yearly serving of massively sweet and rich Tres Leche and Tiramisu. Tres Leche Cake Tiramisu Vegetarian option: We have very few requests so email us at info(a)mashout.org and we'll get you straight.
