MHBA Members-

 

The All-Club Minnesota Beer campout will be held Fri-Sun, Aug 2-4, 2013 in Cass Lake, MN.  If you HAVEN’T been to this yet – GET YOURSELF UP THERE!  It is a RIOT of a good time, camping with home brewers from all over Minnesota (and North Dakota.) 

 

*Camp Nushka is a BEAUTIFUL campground, a former State Park site – and we’ll have it ALL to ourselves!

* On a lake – so bring your swim suit and water wings!

* We have a fun mini-competition on Saturday (Categories: Ales, Lagers, Belgians, and Meads)

* Beers brought to the campfires by all of the attendees make it the BEST beer bar in the 5-State area for that weekend! 

* Fire Jenga may make a re-appearance (you have to see it to understand it)

* The Saturday Night dinner is provided by the sponsoring club – the Northern Ale Stars.

 

You’ll be sorry if you miss this!

Come one, Come All To the All Club Camp Out!
 
Yes, it's that time of year again, the weather is warming up (sort of), the mosquitos are out in force and it's time for a camp out with great people, great food and, of course, great beer.
