Original Message: ----------------- From: Northern Ale Stars northernalestars(a)hotmail.com Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 11:50:36 -0600 To: alboyce(a)bigfoot.com Subject: Meeting this Saturday! This Saturday, February 11th is the monthly meeting of the Northern Ale Stars, starting at the usual 2:00 PM ish time. We’re meeting at the home of Mike Ganser and Julie Hillman. Their address is 4120 Schultz Road. Phone number 721-3814. Directions: find your way to Martin Rd. and from there take either Howard Gnesen or Rice Lake Road (whichever you prefer) 4 miles North to CR-35: if you choose Howard Genesn Rd you want to turn left; if you took Rice Lake Rd- turn right. You are on the correct road if you see the sign---“This Road is Adopted by Mike, Alissa and Kaylee Ganser”. They are on the south side of the road just off Howard Gnesen Rd---4120 Schultz Rd. Call if you get lost and we’ll send someone to come and get your beer. Mike has stated this will be the “Day of the Yeast”. You are requested to bring a bread to match your beer. Mike has assured us adequate ventilation will be provided. So, bring beer (homebrew preferred), bread and a non-yeasty snack to share with the group. Bock Fest: Fitgers annual Bock Fest will be held March 15 – 18. As always, Lake Superior Brewing’s seasonal Bock will be the featured beverage. Be sure to stop in and get a Hot-Poker Bock to chase away the winter chill. March Beer Weekend on the Gunflint: March 23rd to the 26th is the annual “We’re Not Out of the Wood Yet” beer weekend at Hestons! If you haven’t called to reserve your space yet, give Barb and Greg a call at 218-388-2243 or e-mail them at info(a)hestone.com. Several people have asked Barb and Greg about space, so reserve your space now or you will be sleeping in the barn with you know who. The Saturday night group dinner theme is Italian. Break out those spicy meatball recipes! Brewmaster's Dinner: South Shore Brewery in Ashland WI, will be hosting a Brewmaster's Dinner on Thursday, March 23rd. Seating begins at 6:30 PM with dinner starting at 7:00 P.M.. The South Shore has conducted nearly thirty of these events, but they are really fired up for this one. This will be the first time they will have guest brewers. Randy Lee from Viking Brewery, Dallas, WI and Dave Hoops from Fitger's in Duluth will help South Shore’s own Bo Bélanger entertain the troops. South Shore always has a twist to the theme of their dinners and this time is no exception. A Tapas Barley Wine Dinner! Tapas will be paired with barley wines (WOW!). Tickets are $40/ each or $75/ couple. Awesome deal!!! South Shore will also be hosting Brewmaster's Dinners the Saturday following the Summer solstice, and the Thursday following election Tuesday (I’ll let you figure out the dates). No word at this time on the theme or guest brewers. Pub Crawl: The return of the unruly mob, otherwise known as the pub crawl, is tentatively set for Saturday, April 29th. Rumor has it there will be more crawling and less riding than in past years, so you’d better dust off your drinking shoes. Stay tuned for further details.
