February Club Meeting

Mark Smith has graciously opened his home to host us, Saturday, February 21st, 6:00 PM.

Mark’s address is  2839 Markridge Dr. Reno 89509 (map below).

No theme has been announced, so just bring your normal, awesomely outstanding pot luck fare.

Our tasting session will begin early (shooting for 6:30 ish) so bring a homebrew (not that you have to, it’s just encouraged).  As per usual, our sessions are blind (not knowing who) and group discussion based (we won’t fill out scoresheets).  The style doesn’t matter, we like them all.

Another Great Meeting

Thanks Andy & Robin for hosting a great club meeting last night.  Also, thanks Rob for handling the “cellar duties” and stewarding for the tasting session (we know you weren’t feeling well and hope your better today).

Thanks everyone for attending, and contributing to another good tasting session.  Thanks for all the food brought in also.   The evening had great atmosphere.

I have a feeling that lots of folk are already looking forward to February’s meeting.  Anyone interested in hosting a meeting, please coordinate with Rob.

Next Club Meeting January 10th

Oh by gosh, by golly, the next club meeting is coming up fast.  Saturday, January 10th, arrive at 6:00 PM, and the tasting session starts at 6:30 PM.  Note:  This is a little earlier start time, moved up 30 minutes from last month.

Andy TenBrink is graciously hosting (thank you Andy), and the address is 1865 Ellendale Rd. , Reno,  89503 (map below).

In case you’re not familiar with  the tasting sessions, they are our way of working together to improve our beer evaluation skills (judging), as well as our brewing skills.  We discuss the beers one at a time but as a group (all together) , blind (not knowing who the brewer is), and except for the scorekeeper nothing is written down.  It’s very encouraging for all, so we hope you can make it.

The menu is standard pot luck.  No theme food-wise, so bring whatever you want.  As for the tasting session, as long as it’s homebrew the style doesn’t matter.  We will try to sequence the order from lighter to stronger.
