March Meeting: Bricktop

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

We will be holding our March meeting at Bricktop where we can all down our desired delight from their deck of dozens of delicious drinks.  The meeting will be held Wednesday, yes, Wednesday, March 3rd.

We’ll start at 7pm. We need to wrap up our club business before 10pm, but everyone is welcome to stay as long as they would like after the meeting since Bricktop does not close until 1am.

Stay tuned for any new information.

Volunteers needed: Beer Tasting Panel

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

One of our Lagers members,500ml Pyrex beaker of stout Erik Newgard, is looking for people willing to be trained as an American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC) Tasting Panel. His goal is a reliable tasting group of 20-30 individuals. Hopefully this experiment will provide some valuable experience that will improve all of our abilities to taste qualitatively and quantitatively.

Initial time commitment is a few hours in February for screening, and a couple of hours in Mid-March. (Ideally, the members of this panel might be available on a semi-permanent basis for more scientific tastings in the future, so that a new panel does not need to be re-created every time.) For more information, visit This Thread In The Members Only Forum - or if you cannot access that thread, you can send Erik a PM. Deadline is approximately Feb 12th.
