I hope everyone is having a fantastic holidays thus far. As you are sitting around the fire with your friends and family (and favorite homebrews), make sure you are preparing yourself for JANUARY 4th for the Holiday Party at Forgotten Star at 6PM.
Bring your best potluck dish (awards to brew infused dishes), homebrew to share, and friends/family.
Forgotten Star Brewing Co.
38 Northern Stacks Dr,
Fridley, MN 55421
The party is in the private room at the NORTH end of the building. You may enter through the brewery main entrance or directly into the private room from the north entry door.
Setup will start around 5:30 pm with teardown at 9:30 pm
Socializing will be from 6:00 – 7:00 pm
Buffet-style food service will begin at 7:00 pm
Raffles with gift cards occurring throughout the night
What to bring
Food: Come with a potluck dish to share (bonus points for being prepared with a beer, cider, or mead). Make sure to bring serving utensils and an extension cord if needed.
A “People’s Choice” award will be given for the best potluck dish with beer, cider, or mead as an ingredient with voting going on throughout the night.
Plates, napkins, and silverware will be provided.
Beer/Cider/Mead/Wine to share: Bring any beer, mead, or cider that you wish to share. Bottles, growlers, and kegs are welcome. Don’t forget a small tasting glass—some plastic glasses will be available in case of emergency. The club will provide our jockeybox for use.
What? Remember to bring a tasting glass. Really. You should bring a tasting glass.
Even better if you put your name on it for the inevitable “I lost my tasting glass”.
Family and Friends: This is a family-friendly event, so bring your significant other, kids, and/or any friends/family that have ever expressed an interest in homebrewing or beer. As this is one of the most attended gatherings of the year, it’s a great opportunity to get out and meet your fellow homebrewers. If you have not made it to a meeting or would like to join the club, the Holiday potluck is a perfect chance to try some great homebrew and delicious food, and exchange homebrew with others.
