What's Brewing

DECEMBER MHBA MEETING: Christmas Pot-Lub! at the CSPS Hall,
St. Paul, MN - Fri, Dec 12, 6-pm
The December meeting of the Minnesota Home Brewers Association will be our annual Christmas Pot-Luck at the CSPS Hall, at 383 Michigan St, St.Paul, MN 55102. There will be a contest for the best food made with BEER, so bring a dish, a Christmas Beer (or ANY kind of beer) to share. Please bring your own serving utensils - paper plates and plasticware provided. The highlight of the meeting will be the Beer Swap - bring up to 24 bottles of your home brew, and go home with 24 from another club member!

The Style of the Month for December is "AMERICAN WHEAT OR RYE" - so if you have one brewed, bring it along and join the Style of the Month Club awards program. If you have an IPA that you did not bring in to November's Style of the Month, bring those in too. (Any other beers, ciders or meads you'd like to bring for evaluation would be welcome also!)

Picture of Jimmy CarterToast to Jimmy: "On October 14, 1978, President Carter signed House Resolution 1337. Senate Amendment 3534 to that resolution called for equal treatment of home beer brewers and home winemakers. This law allowed that brewing up to 100 gallons per adult or up to 200 gallons per household per year was permitted for home use. The amendment was proposed by Senator Cranston of California, Senator Schmitt of New Mexico, Senator Bumpers of Arkansas and Senator Gravel of Alaska." Read more at: Google results
