Sounds like fun, but I can't make it, I'll be out of town. Have a good meeting!

[MrAverageGuy]

Won't make it (again)....I do exist...next time.

Worst president ever.

I will be there. I am bringing my Agave Blonde Ale (just kegged yesterday), Centennial IPA, and (hopefully) Columbus IPA to compare with the Centennial IPA (same malt bill, just mixed up the hops).

[bwarbiany]

Lo and behold, I will make an appearance tonight... Jess & I will probably be there a bit early...

I have a Belma/Simcoe IPA that I'll be bringing, that I don't like very much and need tasting notes on.

Unfortunately, I won't be there tomorrow. Curtis will facilitate the meeting.

Worst president ever.

LOL... whatever. It's for the greater good. I have to attend HB CERT training (Community Emergency Response Teams). In my defense, I don't think I missed a meeting in my first 2 years as pres.

[ScottK]

CERT is good stuff. Jon are you involved with RACES at all?

[JonW]

I like to tell a good joke, but no, I'm not that type of HAM.

[ctninh]

I'll be there.

[lexuschris]

Fun meeting everyone!

Just realized on my way home, with all the good discussion, I forgot to mention that my new Old Ale (#2 of my pours) and new Gruit (#3) had oak chips. Never used them before, but I like the character that came from them in those beers.

[Reid]

Chris, I enjoyed your gruits. I see you're in CdM. I'm up near Spyglass (Newport Ridge). We should grab a beer sometime at the Place.

[lexuschris]

Definitely! Always like to catch a pint with a fellow brewer!

It was also great meeting some of the new folks at the meeting, and I finally got to met hjw ... he's been lurking here forever, and I know he knows his stuff. Good to finally meet you Hal!

Keep up the good Gruit Chris.
