Several years ago this club had a running topic and meeting item related to a particular beer style each month. Each month in the club newsletter, an article was presented discussing a style in tremendous detail. Additionally, a recipe was provided for the given style. Club members were encouraged to brew the style and when it was complete, bring it to a club meeting for discussion, evaluation and just to show it off! In the upcoming months, I am going to try and revisit these articles. The goal of this is to present this awesome material to new club members as well as help educate club members new and old on beer styles that we may not brew very often and ways to brew these better. We will kick this off with the club newsletter that comes out this Thursday. Look for the article there, and on the club website at http://www.mnbrewers.com/ If you don't get the club newsletter, go over to http://www.mnbrewers.com and fill out the Club Announcements form in the right hand column. As we are a very large group and we have lots of members who cannot make it to club meetings, I am going to try and foster discussion of these styles and topics they relate to. I will be encouraging discussion on our Facebook Group as well as The Barn email list - Check out http://www.mnbrewers.com/about-us/find-us-online/ for links and to sign up for these. In an attempt to simplify club communications, we are trying to reduce the number of locations you need to keep track of in order to stay up to date! If you have suggestions for styles you would like to see highlighted, or have other suggestions or ideas, please pass them on! Thanks, Dave Royer - MHBA Web Guy
