2008 Holiday Potluck
Where: CSPS Hall - 383 Michigan St., St. Paul - Above the Glockenspiel
Restaurant - corner of Michigan St & West 7th
When: Friday, December 12th from 6:00 PM-10:00PM
New this Year: The club is providing a 5 gallon keg of La Rulles Erpe-Mere
Saison as a special treat for those attending.
Raffle for the Minnesota Food Shelves: We will be selling raffle tickets
for chances to win door prizes. All proceeds will go to the Minnesota food
shelves. The prizes include a free hour on the Pedal Pub and 2 bottles of
Surly Darkness.
What to bring:
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 style of the month for December
is American Wheat or Rye, so don't forget to bring yours along to earn your
SOTM sticker for December. You can also bring any American IPAs from
November's SOTM. 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(a few people were wondering).
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 , the Holiday potluck is a perfect chance to try some
great homebrew, delicious food and exchange homebrew with others.
If you have not renewed you membership or would like to sign-up for a club
membership, our member director should be on hand to collect your money and
hand out your new membership cards. Which for those who don't are good for
a 10% discount at the local homebrew shops(Northern Brewer, Midwest Supply,
Brew & Grow, & Still-H2O)
Additionally, the beers brewed during last month's "teach a friend to
homebrew" will be available for all to try.
If you have anything you are willing to donate to the raffle as prizes send
me a separate email to the address below.
If you have any questions or need directions send me an email at

Hope to see you there.
