Just wanted to give you all a heads up that there will be NO HOME BREW available but there will be other beers. Sorry guys! Hopefully we'll still see you all there! Tap and Tony Hello, members, participants, and general supporters of ARTENBRU! There has been some recent stirring, and seemingly unfortunate events as of yesterday 11/17/10 concerning ARTENBRU and the sampling of homebrew at the Black Dog Cafe. We here at ARTENBRU received a call from the Department of Safety and Inspections stating: "ARTENBRU cannot and will not have, serve, bring, sell or sample home brewed beer on the premises of Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar." This comes as a shock and surprise to us, as much as you all. We were informed, as the planning began for ARTENBRU many months ago, by a member of the City License Control, that under an On Sale license sampling could be lawfully done so long as the samples were under 4 oz, and were limited to 2 per individual. Also that we could bring and sample homebrew into the Black Dog Cafe. Without a doubt, this is a shock, surprise, and disappointment for us, and we truly apologize to you, especially brewers who cannot have their beer enjoyed at the event. We're especially upset that we were told one thing and now, at the 11th hour being told another. We are working on an offsite award ceremony, and judging process. Again, the short notice caught us fully blindsided, given what we were told months ago. We're pretty discouraged. We (Nick, James, and I) were in the Mayor's office this morning, discussing this, and the details behind it. In the best interest of everyone, especially the brewers and the Black Dog, to prevent citations, and legal violations, we have made the following decisions: 1) Brewers cannot bring any form of homebrew to the event, and will not be allowed in with it. 2) Homebrewers will be there, explaining their beer, and educating the public on their process of creating it, and the collaboration of the two. 3) There will be a reduced cover charge at the door, if any at all. 4) The event will start at 8:00 p.m., instead of the advertised 7:00 p.m. 5) Public will still receive a pint glass and BRUcard. 6) Posters will still be up, displayed and for sale. Designers (look for an updated email RE: pricing and commission) 7) Full pours are still available for $2--we're working as fast as we can on getting A LOT more commercial beer to have available. 8) DJ Double Trouble will still be live at 9:00 p.m. 9) Raffle prizes will still be given out 10) Best Single Design will still be announced 11) We're working on an off-site judging process To reply to this message, follow the link below: <http://www.facebook.com/n/?inbox%2Freadmessage.php&t=460687868796&mid=34f98b2G444f1816G1981ee9G0&n_m=mgbehrendt%40comcast.net> http://www.facebook.com/n/?inbox%2Freadmessage.php&t=460687868796&m… Find people from your Comcast <http://www.facebook.com/n/?find-friends%2F&ref=email&mid=34f98b2G444f1816G1981ee9G0&n_m=mgbehrendt%40comcast.net> address book on Facebook! <http://www.facebook.com/email_open_log_pic.php?k=k4eyqybx&t=16&mid=34f98b2G444f1816G1981ee9G0> This message was intended for mgbehrendt(a)comcast.net.
