March 2020 Meeting

Not a club member? Not a problem!
Just stop on by. This meeting. Another meeting. Whenever it works for you. Meetings are informal and tend to last about two hours or so. Often followed by a trip to a local establishment, if’n folks are inclined.

This meeting: Tuesday, March 3rd, 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.!

March Meeting Agenda
It’s a test! A test of your senses. Word has it that there will be a hop sensory session and discussion.

Plus more beer and mead and cider and taradiddle and senselessness. That’s what the Saint Paul Homebrewers do.

Location
Northern Brewer on Grand Avenue (https://tinyurl.com/NBStPaul) is kindly keeping the door open for this meeting in their Grand Avenue store (thankyouverymuch!) and is happy to honor your SPHBC discount on supplies while there (you DID renew your membership fo 2020, right?). And Northern Brewer will honor your SPHBC discount, again, the next day, when you are back to pick up the Starsan or bottle caps or whatever you forgot to buy during the meeting.

Thank you Northern Brewer!

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