The Ox is located on the first floor of the Solar Arts Building, just down the hall from Indeed’s main taproom. They have been very welcoming in giving us the use of their rental space without charge. Homebrew is allowed, but please be sure to buy beer from our hosts and tip well.
We’ll be meeting at Bad Weather Brewing in St Paul at 7:00, December 8. The meeting has been pushed back a week due to the holiday.

They have pub trivia starting at 9:00, for anyone who might want to stick around after the meeting.
It’s all in the title.
Chris Smith, a truly preeminent cider maker, will be talking cider. You will not get a better opportunity to get tips, ask questions, and receive feedback on your ciders. We have several other club members who are experienced cider makers, some of whom have been doing well in major competitions, so there is a lot of knowledge and experience available if you are new to cider or want to get better.
Chris is an extremely knowledgeable brewer as well, so I suspect he’d be happy to answer questions in a wide range of topics. If you need any more incentive to come to the meeting, Scott Kosloski, General Manager of the St Paul store, has offered a special discount of 15% off to club members that night, so start working on your shopping list.
Fletty’s place. See the club list for details.

the next club meeting will be a Big Brew Saturday, May 9 at Eric’s house to debut the new club system.
Everyone is encouraged to come check out the system — hang out, have some beer, and Eric will have a grill going if you want to bring something to grill for a late lunch — but there are only a few slots for people actually brewing that day.
Brewing will start at 9:00 for those of you who are really interested in learning the all-grain brewing process or who want to see how the club system works. I think we already have four brewers lined up, but if there are any openings we will announce it via email.
Everyone is welcome to just come and hang out, but unless you are really interested in the system, please plan to arrive midday. Bring some homebrew and snacky foodstuff to share.
If you want something more substantial for lunch, plan to bring something to grill. You will be on your own for plates, silverware, condiments, etc., unless someone is willing to bring them for the masses.

Just a reminder that our April meeting will be meeting at Urban Growler, a relatively new taproom owned by Jill Pavlek and Deb Loch (the first women-owned and -brewed in St. Paul, according to their website). Deb will be there to give us a tour of their brewery, and I suspect, give us some good brewing info.
She is a former member of SPHBC and has been a prominent figure in the local homebrewing community (more info about each of them can be found here: http://www.urbangrowlerbrewing.com/about-urban-growler/).
PLEASE NOTE: They have asked us not to carry-in anything, so unfortunately we may not bring any homebrew to this meeting. However, they usually have a wide selection on tap. They do have a kitchen: come early, grab a pint, and get some food!
