Lincoln Lager Jason McLaughlin took first place honors in the Brewers’ Choice of the Winter Warmer Beer Quest at Lazlo’s on Novembeer 15. Jason’s delicious chocolate stout also was BOS in the preliminary judging. Bob Catherall took fourth with his yummy espresso sweet stout. Complete results are posted above and related discussions are on the forum. The next Beer Quest will be “session ales” in February.

The Lincoln Lagers’ Octobeer 2009 meeting is still TBD, as this month is quite busy with other events.

The meeting time/place will be posted on the forum as soon as it is set, and we’ll try to post it up here on the front page too. Watch the Calendar Thread to see when it shows up.

Lancaster Event Center
(84th & Havelock Avenue)
Lincoln, Nebraska

Tickets in advance are $25; at the door $30 (*must be 21 years of age to purchase tickets or attend the event).

Our brew club – the Lincoln Lagers – will have home-brew at this event. Several area microbreweries and distributors will be there. Last year there was an estimated 150 different beers available for sampling. There were also about a dozen or so restaurants in attendance. Your entry fee gets you the brew and food… as much as you can eat and drink. There are also other commercial booths, a silent auction, and some live music.

If you need an event ticket, talk to Kim T! You can send him a message here if you are a registered forum member!
