Ladies and Gentlemen how is your winter going? Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Have you fully recovered from the holiday season? Resolutions working out well? Need a lift? How about a beer? Summit Brewing and The Minnesota Homebrewers Association cordially invite our members to attend a formal meeting this Saturday at 3:30 at Summit in St. Paul. The brewery is located south of west 7th in the Crosby Business Center. Show up on time, participate in the meeting, ask questions, and pretend your home brewery just expanded. One of the most important things about beer is keeping yeast happy since yeast make the bitter wort into beer. Our host and owner Mark Stutrud has agreed to provide a short talk on yeast propagation and Summit usually maintains 5 or more yeast cultures for various beverages. There will also very likely be a beer or two somewhere in the agenda. Woven into the tour is our upcoming year of homebrewing adventures and we will be recruiting (twisting arms?) volunteers to help identify events, help with planning, and offer general support for the coming 2004 season. So that's all the news that is fit to print. Hope this message has reached you in time for the event and we look forward to seeing you next Saturday. Sorry if this message was delivered in error. Sincerely, Rick Oftel MHBA
