est 1998. “I’m sure it'll be just fine”
Many hands make light work …
The bottle sort for first round is set for Sunday, March 17th, at 9 a.m. at Northern Brewer headquarters in Roseville (https://tinyurl.com/NBheadquarters).
We’ll have a lot of entries that will need to be unpacked, sorted, and labeled. The more the merrier. Whatever other happy crappy cliches might apply.
Need more incentive? There will be coffee and doughnuts. No alcohol consumption allowed on site, unfortunately, so leave your green beer (and mead) at home.

March Meeting Agenda
Since nature eschewed our efforts for a meeting in February (you damn, dirty month!), the agenda is pushed to March.

Thank you Northern Brewer!
Other Stuff
As always, if you bring homebrew or mead or cider (or whatever), bring along your recipe and brewing notes. Leave your ego at home.
