  I trust everyone had a good Thanksgiving and is currently prepping for the upcoming holiday season. But, I hope you can take a moment. Fill up your pint with your favorite brew and cuddle up in front of your computer screen. Take a little slow down time and catch up with your favorite club minutes.
  Thank You to Tilted Axis for hosting us. We discussed the Teach a Friend to brew day on the 7th. It was a chilly day as seems to be usual for our on site brews. But all went well. Much beer was brewed. Some of our members chose to brew a Belgian Red Ipa, that was left to ferment at Tilted Axis. Doug has been watching over it and will be kegging and carbonating it soon. This collaboration will be available on tap at Tilted Axis soon. Stay tuned for the announcement.
  For those that brewed at 7 Ponds in September, Mike Mullins delivered some of that brew to Seven Ponds staff and it will be served at their annual fundraising dinner this month. We also discussed  another club competition. Which we will talk about in January for style and other concerns regarding the comp.
  Our December meeting will be the club Christmas tasting party. We are fortunate enough to be having Donna and Rob Zaiki hosting it at their home. There will be a white elephant gift pass. If you were at last years party, you know it got a little heated. lol.  Suggested amount of gift is $10. Also, PLEASE bring a dish to pass. Just cause we all know that even though LABbers are beer aficionados we also love our food. Also bring your favorite brew to share.  Last years party was a great success and I suspect this years will be just as fun. Looking forward to seeing everyone for our last meeting of 2015. And definitely looking forward to 2016 and all the amazing beer we will be brewing and partaking of. The address for the party is 3901 Kingswood Drive, Dryden, Michigan 48428. Party starts at 3:00 pm. Merry Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year to everyone.
