CONGRATULATIONS to the Saint Paul Home Brewers Club,
who won honors as
the AHA HOMEBREW CLUB OF THE YEAR at the AHA National Conference in
Denver this weekend. Good job guys!
Also, congrats to Steve Fletty, who took honors as Meadmaker of the Year!
Good work!

Thanks, Al.
I'd just like to say that it was a huge group effort to win club of the
year and props go out to everyone who entered, planned, judged,
stewarded and supported SPHBC's effort to topple The Evil Empire of QUAFF.
Also, I'd never have won if not for all the mead makers I learned from
here in the Midwest. People like Gary Sinnen, Susan Ruud, Steve Piatz,
and Al Boyce who were in the vanguard of brewers who spread the Gospel
of the Bee.
Then you have Curt Stock who kicked it up a notch.
Here's to all of you -- Curt, Steve, Susan, Gary and Al -- for sharing
your meads, ideas and techniques.
