Hi Malt Infusers,

Our next meeting is this Thursday August 9, 2018 at 7:30 pm.
Norwood Community Center
1810 Courtland Ave
Cincinnati, OH 45212

Topic is Pale Ales. If you received a kit, bring your finished beer to the meeting. We will taste them to evaluate the effective of the variations in the process. After that we will blindly compare them to commercial examples.

If you ordered your CMI shirt, it will be ready for pick up on Thursday.

If you haven’t ordered a shirt yet, place your order at least 2 weeks before the September meeting to allow time for it to be prepared for the next meet.

We will also be having a raffle.

Looking forward to a great meeting.
