April Meeting Agenda
Not yet determined – probably some beer, some mead, some cider. Check back as we get closer to the date.
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 (and, 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 along your recipe and brewing notes. Leave your ego at home.
Call for Help: NHC First Round Sort 3/17
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.
