This meeting: Tuesday, February 4th, 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.!
February Meeting Agenda
It’s pour and celebrate/commiserate time … bring your score sheets from Mashout and – if you still have some – entry samples to gloat about your winners or kvetch about the judges (some of whom will be at the meeting, quite likely).
Plus more beer and mead and cider and farce and tommyrot. That’s what the Saint Paul Homebrewers do.
