Food: Bring a dish to share (the theme is dishes prepared with BEER), copies of the
recipe, serving utensils and extension cords if necessary. A "People's
Choice" award will be given for the best potluck dish with beer as an ingredient.
Plates, napkins, and silverware will be provided.
Beer to share: Bring any beer, mead or cider you wish to share. There will be a
"Peoples Choice" award given for the best beer, mead or cider. Bottles,
growlers or keg are welcome, the club jockey box will be available. The beers brewed at
Learn To Homebrew Day in November will be available to sample. Don't forget a small
tasting glass, some plastic glasses will be available in case of emergency.
Beer to exchange: Bring up to 24 bottles to exchange with your fellow homebrewers. Label
each bottle with your name, email address, style and beer name (if it has one). Everyone
who participated draws a number and then selects a bottle in order until they receive as
many bottles as they brought.
Family and Friends: This is a family friendly event, so bring your significant other,
kids, and any friends/family that have ever expressed an interest in homebrewing or beer.
Just to be clear you or your guest don't have to be a club member to attend, but we
encourage everyone to sign-up for membership for 2012 to support club activities in the
future.
Since this is one of the most attended gatherings of the year, it's a great
opportunity to get out and meet your fellow homebrewers. If you have not made it to a
meeting or would like to join the club, the Holiday potluck is a perfect chance to try
some great homebrew, delicious food and exchange homebrew with others.
Membership renewal or new member sign-up: If you would like to sign-up for a club
membership or renew this is the main meeting for membership renewal, Neil Bromenshenkel
will be on hand to collect your money and hand out your new membership cards. We will
have pre-printed cards for current and currently lapsed members available. Which for
those who don't know, are good for a 10% discount at the local homebrew
shops(Northern Brewer, Midwest Supply, Brew & Grow, & Still-H2O)
If you have any questions email me at csmitty42@yahoo. com.
Hope to see you there.
