President’s Message – November 2013

Just a reminder . . . due to the Thanksgiving holiday, our monthly meeting has been moved up a week. We will be gathering on Thursday, November 21st at Daddy Brews.  The general meeting will kickoff at 7:00 p.m.

To make the meetings more efficient, the MASH Board will gather earlier (6:00 p.m.) to hash through club business. Anyone that is interested in joining us is welcome to attend. We will provide a brief synopsis to the group following our educational session. Additionally, minutes of the business meeting will be made available via the “Members-Only” section of the MASH website. If you are a paid member of the club, you will receive sign-on credentials shortly.

This month’s educational session, focusing on Ciders, will be led by Jon Britton. He will walk us through the BJCP Cider Style Guidelines and provide a few commercial examples for your enjoyment. Jon has promised to keep the session brief, interactive and delicious! (Don’t forget to bring samples of your Cider for this month’s BOTY competition.)

Also, be sure to mark your calendar. Our Annual Meeting and Winter Solstice Party will be held at the Wynwood Brewing Company on Saturday, December 14th. We will have private access to the facility from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. (For those of you who want to stick around, the monthly Wynwood Art Walk will take place later in the day.) The Solstice Party will include a brewery tour, flight samplers and plenty of homebrew to share. More details to follow.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night.

Cheers!

Dave
