WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY! - Beer Bouquet for Bob Cromer

As most of you know by now, our friend and brewing buddy Bob Cromer suffered a stroke a week ago. We thought about getting him flowers, but decided that Bob would like a "Beer Bouquet" instead. Bob's wife Rene endorses this plan - she says he smiles when the doctor talks about his homebrewing hobby. Here's the idea: There's a grand opening of the new Vine Park Brew-On-Premise today, Sunday June 13 from 4pm-8pm. (1254 West 7th St, St. Paul - 651-228-1355, www.vinepark.com for directions.) Everyone who wants to participate come and bring 2 or more bottles of your best homebrew, with a paper neck label stapled on it with A) Your Name; B) The name of your beer; C) The brew or bottling date of your beer, and D) (optionally) a "Get Well Bob" message on it. We will collect them and artfully arrange them somehow, and drop them off at the hospital (Bob's not up to visitors yet, but Rene said one or two of us could come up to drop it off.) I know it's short notice. If you read this and can make it, call a couple other homebrewing friends and see if they want to participate. Thanks! - Al
