I just wanted to remind everyone that the next MHBA club meeting is this Sunday, April 29th from noon - 3 pm at the Black Forest Inn Party Room. This is a separate, private room from the restaurant that is located on the other side of their outdoor patio.

This is our fourth annual Home Brew Fest, which has been a highly popular meeting! Please bring your home brewed beers, meads, or ciders to share with other club members. In the past, we have had over 50 different styles to try. A couple of bottles, growlers, or kegs are all welcome.   (Any amount is welcome.)  We are also selecting the club's representative for the AHA Club Only Competition for Scottish and Irish Ales (category 9).  If you have a beer that you would like considered, please bring three bottles (one for judging and two to send forward, if you beer is selected).

Please send me an email letting me know what style of beer/mead/cider you plan on bringing. (Signing up ahead of time makes it easier for me to keep track. But you are still welcome to bring your brew the day of the event.) There will be prizes for People's Choice beer and People's Choice mead/cider.

The Black Forest has excellent food, so I hope you will consider ordering lunch while you are here. The address is: 1 East 26th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55404. There is a parking lot on 26th.

I am looking forward to it!
