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 csmitty42@yahoo.com.
Hope to see you there.
