On SUNDAY ... SUNday ... sunday ... December 13th, there is but one place to be--the
club's annual Christmas party! We're taking over the CSPS Hall (above the sadly-defunct
Glockenspiel restaurant--383 W Michigan St) from noon to five, and your presence is
requested. Where else can you enjoy delicious homemade beer and food while listening to
live music, accompanied by the pleasant company of your fellow brewers?
Please arrive any time after noon, and please bring food and beverages to share. There
is a "People's Choice" prize for the best homemade food that incorporates beer
into the ingredient list, and another prize for the favorite homebrew. Plates,
plasticware, and napkins will be provided by the club.
The live music begins at 12:30, and will be 3/5 of the band, the High 48s (would that be
the High 28.8s?). The buffet-style meal will commence at 1:00. Please bring a tasting
glass for the homebrew, as well as for the six gallons of Summit Oatmeal Stout that the
club is providing.
Anyone who brings at least 64 oz. of a particular beverage will receive credit in the
Brewer of Fame program. The club jockey box will be available for kegs.
At 3:00 we'll have a Secret Santa homebrewed beer exchange. Bring up to six bottles of
your finest homemade wares, with your name and beverage style listed on a piece of tape
affixed to the bottom of each bottle. You'll take home as many bottles as you brought,
but you just won't know what you're getting until you've got it--just like Christmas
morning!
If you need to renew your membership, we will be on hand to help with that as well. You
can also head to the club website at mnbrewers.com and renew right now!
Bring the entire family, and bring some games. We won't be able to adjourn down the
stairs to the Glock this year, but we do have the hall rented until 5:00.
If you have any questions, please hit reply and ask away, or consider jumping on our
Facebook group or email list.
See you Sunday, December 13th ...
Regards,
The Minnesota Home Brewers Association Leadership Team
