Hello Mike, Greetings from Colorado. I spoke with Chris Schiffer today from the Northern Brewer. Chris said that you and the Minnesota Homebrewers Association are the largest homebrew club in the area. And I also spoke with Dave Turbenson at Midwest homebrewing Supplies. I am arranging the AHA On The Road Tour with Charlie Papazian. Charlie is planning to be in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on Tuesday, April 2 for an evening AHA event. At these events, Charlie gives a talk, takes questions and tastes beer (where allowed) etc. Charlie will also be visiting some homebrew shops in the afternoon. Evening events in the past have been a reception type set up at a homebrew shop, meeting in a brewpub, or some other gathering place. Hors d'oeuvre and/or dinner have been possibilities in the past, it all depends on the local homebrew clubs and members. Would you be the best person to coordinate the local arrangements for this AHA Tour? I know that there are a few homebrew clubs in the area and we would want to include all of them, as well as working with all the homebrew shops. I look forward to hearing from you. Mugs Up! -Mark ****** Mark L.
