Happy New Year everyone.

We have a lot going on early this year. Here is the list:

1. Membership dues can be paid on the website- $15 for a single and $20 for a couple. Otherwise, cash or check at this week’s meeting is great.

2. All American Homebrew Competition is live. Enter your beers before the competition closes. We need your help as judges and stewards. The first 40 judges and stewards tp register get a ticket to Saturday’s Beerfest at the convention center. Date is February 2, 2019.

3. January meeting is on the 10th at 7:30 pm at Norwood Community Center. Topic is stouts. Bring any examples that you have brewed. And if you don’t have a stout, bring something you have brewed to share.

4. February meeting- the normal date is Valentines Day. So rather than get everyone in the doghouse, we are going to meet on February 13, 2019 at the brand new Sam Adams Taproom. Chris Siegman is the brewmaster and will give as an exclusive tour. Address is 1727 Logan ST 45202. Near Findley Market and we will meet at 7:30 pm.

5. Other competitions are accepting entries and judges: Bockfest- first Saturday in March, and Liberty Home Bock and Germanfest is the following weekend. Details are on the Blotarian website.

Hope to see everyone on Thursday.
