Same message with a little missing information Rick Oftel The Beer Judging class starts this Thursday night at my house, 6pm! Everyone welcome - please RSVP if you can. The first week is the famous "Doctored Beer" seminar - VERY fun! If you have any homebrew that you think represents particularly well one flavor, aroma or sensation - bring it along!
