February 2021 Virtual Meeting: Marshall Schott

Our next meeting is February 11, 2021 at 7:30 PM. We will be hosting Marshall Schott from Brulosophy.

We will be starting with a “commercial calibration” – get a can of MadTree Happy Amber and be prepared to talk about what you smell, taste, feel, and your overall impression of the beer (you can do a BJCP scoresheet if you want, but it is not required!).

Marshall should be on at 8 PM and will talk briefly about their perspectives on experimentation in general, how they apply that to Brülosophy stuff, then finish up with Q&A and talking.

If you’re on our mailing list, the meeting link is in your email. If you’re in our Facebook group, the meeting link is posted there as well. For security purposes, the meeting link will not be posted here.
