I hope the Fall Season has been treating you well! Personally, I’m excited to bust out some of my bigger beer recipes to complement the colder temps that are on their way!
For those of you who are participating in the HOPS for Hunger Event in a few weeks, this will be our last formal Hurrah before the craziness ensues. This month’s meeting will be devoted, partially, to some last minute logistics. So if you are one of the 11 brewers, be sure to come out and make it. For all other HOPS members, we will get down to ‘business as usual’ after we finalize a few things for the event; so bring your brews and ‘buds (taste buds, that is; for your own safety, please don’t bring any Anheiser Busch products).
THIS MONTH’S MEETING
This months meeting will be on Friday, October 19th @ 6:30pm @ The Junkyard Bakehaus @ 6187 Route 23 Southside, Oneonta. For directions click HERE.
Be sure to bring:
1. Tasting Glass
2. Homebrews to Share (32+ oz)
3. Writing Utensil
HOPS for Hunger Logistics
Where Can I Get Tickets?
Tickets for the general public will be sold @ The Green Toad Bookstore and B Side Lounge (General Clinton Plaza). I have reserved 50 to sell to the Brew Club Members, our friends, and family. So, if you are “taking orders” from your friends, co-workers, etc… be sure to collect their money by Friday’s meeting as I will be selling tickets then. After the meeting on Friday, I will give any leftover tickets to the 2 venues who are selling to the public. I will also have the 22 complimentary tickets for the 11 beers who are entering the contest. As an FYI, we sold out last year weeks before the event with no advertising. This year, we advertised.
EVENT T-SHIRTS
For individuals who would like an event T-Shirt, please bring your $15 to the meeting. This will be your last chance to place your order.
We will also finalize the brewers and styles of each of the beers for the contest. So, if you’ve made changes, changed brew partners, or brewed something different than what you’ve previously proposed, be sure to mention it to me at Friday’s Meeting.
That’s all for now,
See you all on Friday!
