Hi Everyone- lots of great news about the Cincinnati Malt Infusers all around town lately. First of all, a big thanks to everyone who took part in the parade, and to Eric Penrod for jumping in at the last minute to pull the float.

Bockfest Cincinnati was a great success with Eric Carman winning best of show with his Dopplebock. Many other CMI medals were won at this competition as well.

Last weekend CMI had another great showing at the Liberty Home Bockfest Competition with Tim McKee winning Best of Show with his Vienna Lager and Eric Carman with second place BOS with his Roggenbier.

This week’s meeting we pair CMI Homebrew against local Cincinnati microbrews for our annual March Madness. If you have contacted me to bring your beer, please arrive at 7:15 pm to the meeting so I can check in your beer. This is always a fun event and prizes will be awarded.

As always, we will have an amazing raffle.
Hope to see you there:

Happy Holidays CMI members!

To start the holiday season right, our monthly meeting will be our annual Christmas Party on December 8th at 6 pm.

Norwood Community Center
1810 Courtland Ave
Cincinnati, H 45212

Please bring a side dish or dessert, and home brew to share. The main course will be provided.

The evening’s activities will include a “white elephant” style 6 pack craft beer exchange. (Will says if it is really quality- a 4 pack will do)

There will be door prizes which include Bock Beer kits. Our New Year’s Resolution is to sweep the Bock Fest this year.

So, let’s make merry and we will see you on December 8th.
