We had a great meeting with a lot of big beers which was surprising for a warm Spring day. The big topic of the meeting was Club Elections. Brandon stepped down and will solely be managing the website while Ben and Michael are taking the presidency on as co-presidents. Tom and Ken will continue their roles as treasurer and secretary, respectively.
The meeting agenda items were:
Big Brew on May 4th at Beer Creek Brewing Co. It sounds like a few people will be brewing with many others coming to hang out.
Memorial Day campout May 24-27 at Taos Junction group campsite. We’ll have more coordination and details as the event gets closer.
Bottling the club barleywine and barreling the wee heavy. This will take place this Saturday the 20th at 10am.
June Belgian competition updates – We invited the Dukes and Worthogs from ABQ/Bernallilo. More details and sign up form will be ready very soon.
Upcoming meeting locations – SF brewing will become unavailable with the warmer weather, so are there volunteers to host our meetings for the next few months? For May, the 3rd Wednesday would be the 15th, Tuesdays could be the 14th or 21st. If someone can volunteer a spot, they can choose the date.
