JULY's MEETING

[Witch Doctor Dale]

The Competition Guy informed me that he would not make July's meeting. I will pick up any outgoing entries that you may have. Don't forget that there is a mead only competition in Arizona we are collecting for and they do accept the 187 ml bottles.
Hope to swamp Josh with a whole lot of entries!
For those of you who haven't taken advantage of this club service. Shipping fees are paid by the club, and unless you send a lot of entries, shipping fees usually outway entry fees. So enter your beers! Your Meads! For Fame and Glory!!!!!

Thank you for posting that, Dale!!!!! I agree completely...overwhelm me with entries!!

As I've never used this service before, are there besides the mead comp, are there any specific beer comps you guys are sending to at this month's meeting?

[Witch Doctor Dale]

Since the listed Minnisota State Fair Competition is apperently only for Minnisotans, I'm sending entries to the Mountain Brewers Open. Josh never got around to switching competitions, but if the club approves of this switch, I would be happy to collect and ship.
St Louis Brews did very well here last year, Mike Kopp was the big winner then.

yeah, I guess I need to know if everyone approves so I can go ahead and get a few entries ready.

Dan gave his okie dokie on the Mountain Brewer's Open, so bring your beers, meads and ciders for this one and I'll ship them to West Virginia!

Sorry everyone, I have been a little pre-occupied lately with some personal things and have not been on top of being the Competition Coordinator that I should be!

Things are starting to calm down a little, but if there are more meetings on Tuesdays, you still won't see me there...I have other commitments on Tuesdays which override the Brews meetings.

Please remember that we are still shipping to competitions and that Dale Penrose is the go-to guy for dropping beers for me to ship out if I am not able to make a meeting.

Hope it was a good time last night...sorry I couldn't be there!
