Forms, etc at http://www.aob.org/AHA/NHC/index.htm May 3: Big Brew - Social brew day A fun day to brew and socialized with other club members. Some of this beer could be beer for the NHC hospitality room (read on) And... Jun 18-23: "Sweet Homebrew Chicago" AHA NATIONAL HOMEBREWERS CONFERENCE, http://www.chibeer.org/aha03/ A chance to showcase a keg of your beer at a national conference is not an everyday occurance. Each major club hosts the hospitality room for a period of time. We need lots of great beer for this. It is a matter of significant CBS club pride to have a great showing of beers. We can't be pushed around in our own town!!! So plan a batch or two Start your kettles and LET'S MAKE SOME BEER!!! -Dave Newman Chicago Beer Society President (for now) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
