Saturday April 10th
Judging of entries for the Nebraska club competition starts at 5pm, with meeting at 6pm.
Location is 1601 SW 50th St., off of West A St.
Please bring appetizers or finger foods for munching on while we meet.
Don’t forget! This will be the time to judge the beers for the Nebraska Shoot Out. Bring two bottles to the meeting. The best of each division moves on to the finale on April 24th at the Brick Top!
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.
One of our Lagers members,
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.
WEDNESDAY, February 3rd.
Location: BBQ4U
1501 Center Park Rd. Suite 100
Lincoln, NE 68512 (402) 464-2152

If you wish to enter your English brown ale (any BJCP category 11 beer) for the January/February Club-Only Competition, please bring TWO 12 oz bottles to Wednesday’s meeting. If you brewed a brown ale during the big brew at Doug’s house, consider bringing your beer as an entry for the competition. Please – only one entry per person.
