Yes!

[bwarbiany]

Pending my physical presence in the state of CA, of course!

That said, I have nothing on the schedule now except a blood donation that day, so I might be a cheap date...

How about a presentation on American Barleywines?

[BrewMasterBrad]

Won't be able to make this one (unless I show up really late). That is the first week of the new quarter at school and I don't think I would make a very good first impression on my students if I failed to show up.

[maltbarley]

Tell them you are taking them on a field trip.

[bwarbiany]

Planned style is Gose.

[JonW]

Any links to style notes for it?

[JonW]

Just a reminder that our March meeting is this coming Tuesday.

[StarRaptor]

Planning on continuing my streak so I'll be there

Now to decide what to bring...

[bwarbiany]

I'll be bringing some printouts of these links to the meeting, but here is some historical information on Gose:

Brewcommune Meeting Notes
Meeting notes from March 18, 2013 at Out of the Park Pizza


Discussed

Club is still heading to Casitas, rangers will be looking to enforce curfew and ensure there aren’t drunks running around.

SCHF reps talking about Casitias, with there being too many issues going into the event and it was best to cancel it. Unknown about next years event but they are pretty sure it will be back at Casitas. There are a lot of folks working on correcting the law and it’s language.

Barrel-aged beer for the club. A few styles were thrown around and a forum post should be going up for discussion and voting.

Club sour status update. Sample taken a few weeks ago, still 6 months left until it will be ready to keg.

Talk about an updated club shirt, possibly a Dickies Work shirt. Also talked about locations for the logo, wording, etc.

Style Presentation

Brad did a style presentation on Gose. The beers passed around as style guidelines were:

Ritterguts Gose

Cascade Summer Gose

Homebrews Shared

Unknown about next years event but they are pretty sure it will be back at Casitas.

I thought they said the opposite? That they were looking for other venues because Ranger Sally hates us and the Ventura County ABC aren't big fans of us either?

Style Presentation

Brad did a style presentation on lagers. The beers passed around as style guidelines were:

Ritterguts Gose

Cascade Summer Gose

I did a style presentation on Gose, not on lagers.

Yeah when they were talking about SCHF they said this year was (obviously) out, and next year was unsure as the law would have to change in order for it to take place. They seem to prefer Casitas and would like to go back.

My bad on the style....it's been a LONG week....
