August 16, 2015 meeting

August 16th, 2015 minutes


  Well we finally got thru to the huge event of the year. Michigan Homebrew Festival. As always, this was another great festival. Plenty of food and brews were had by all. Thank You to all the brewers that contributed their amazing brews for us to serve. Have to say, best name this year was Donna's Hairy Coconut Porter. Hahaha.... I always say, If you don't name it, we will. The most unusual names are always the most asked for. Ken Slater was our club winner earlier this year, for his Mid-Winter Pale Ale. And he was gracious enough to bring some for the festival. That was the first keg blown. Congrates again Ken. Brew Strong! The Friday storm that blew in didn't put a damper on the friday feast. Plenty of delicious food was served up Thank You to all the Michigan Homebrew Festival Staff for all the hard work and long hours of planning for the festival and to another memorable year. Already looking forward to 2016.

  The club has been invited once again to the Heritage Harvest Days Festival. This event is taking place at Seven Ponds Nature Center in Dryden. We will be giving a brewing Demo both days , so come on out and show your support and brew with us. The event is September 19th and 20th ,2015. Gates open at 11 am. We are asking for anyone who would like to brew at the festival either day to let us know. Just to get an idea who will be there. 

  It looks like for those that have been patiently waiting for Tilted Axis in Lapeer, to open. That it is happening on September 16th, 2015. Come on out and try out their new beers and check out their new place. So excited!

  Our meeting will be taking place on Sunday September 20th at 3pm as usual. We have a few things to discuss. The Fall Club Comp, Teach a friend to brew day just to mention a couple. Come on out and check out the festival and let's talk beer and business. 

                   Tell a Friend, Bring a Buddy, Meet a Friend. Brew Strong my friends. 

July 19, 2015 Meeting


  Our July meeting was at Mike and Alice Mullins. Thank You to Mike and Alice for hosting the club and the yummy barbecue. We really only talked about the homebrew fest and consumed some brews and some very tasty food. We discussed the purchase of a new tent and acquiring the freezer for the festival. Also got an idea what everyone was contributing to drink for MHF. Looking forward to August. Brew Strong my friends.
