I have a BJCP Exam scheduled for Dec 13. There will be no prep class due to COVID-19, but I believe we can conduct the test safely socially distanced.
If you would like to improve your score to move up in rank, the cost is $15. If it’s your first time, you need to pass the online test first, and the cost is $40.
I need to have at least six examinees to hold it. Max of 12. I have 3 now.
To reserve your seat, send me a check. If I have to cancel because of low attendance, I will rip up the checks. Otherwise it’s non-refundable.
Make checks payable to:

MEAD DAY: AUGUST 1, 2020 7-9pm
Our favorite summer holiday is fast approaching. That's right, Saturday,
August 1st is MEAD DAY 2020 and boy do we have big plans for it. This year
club members are invited to a virtual tour and mead tasting with one of
2019's most awarded meaderies - LOST CAUSE MEADERY out of San Diego, CA!
Along with sharing their time, Lost Cause's owners Suzanna and Billy are
pairing up with the Minnesota Home Brewers Association and offering us a
special discounted rate on three exciting meads.
DEVILRY: Raspberry mead with meadowfoam honey - $28
GSB: Grenache, syrah and blackberry mead with buckwheat honey aged on oak -
$27
DEAR MONTANA: Traditional mead made with Montana sweet clover blossom aged
on oak - $22
Bottle pick up is scheduled for mid July, please keep posted for more
detailed information. Once you have bottles in hand, resist the urge to pop
'em because on the evening of August 1st we're getting a private tour of the
Lost Cause facility as well as a Q&A session with Suzanna and Billy!
So, right about now you're probably asking yourself "how do I get in on this
trio of amazing meads!?" When you're ready to place an order...
Please reach out to Adam Bystrom either on Facebook or via email at
ambystrom(a)yahoo.com and let him know what you plan on ordering. If you've
ever wanted to purchase quality, professional meads, this is your chance!
Feel free to order as many or little as you'd like, as of now, there are no
limits.
Deadline for placing your order will be Sunday, June 28th.
Once we have a bottle count for the order, Adam will reach out to everyone
with the individual updated price after tax+shipping. We've decided to go
the bulk shipping route because of a couple reasons. It's going to save a
significant amount of money in shipping costs and also Dear Montana is not
yet available to the public at this time.
Cheers!
