Welcome to the\u00a0June\u00a0edition of Blow off from the Prez.\u00a0\u00a0This past month was crammed full of great events, and June is shaping up to be just as fun.\u00a0 The Hogtown Blowoff was last month, and SAAZ member Dave Webb came home with multiple medals for his meads.\u00a0 In case you missed it, he made a wonderful chocolate mead.\u00a0 The next competition in the Florida Circuit is the CASK (Jacksonville) First Coast Cup.\u00a0\u00a0They have a special\u00a0“Big Wood” category for wood-aged beers with an original gravity of 1.070 or greater.\u00a0Entries are due\u00a0July 5th through July 16th, so there is plenty of time to brew.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more details.<\/p>\n

Some upcoming events you might want to check out this month are the beer and cheese pairing at World of Beer on June 15th\u00a0sponsored by Southampton and Sunseed Food Co-op.\u00a0 Chris at Florida Wine and Spirits is working to put on a Sierra Nevada tasting, as well as a Brooklyn tasting.\u00a0 Check out their website or join their mailing list to keep up with the latest information.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, the last meeting was at\u00a0The Broken Barrel in Palm Bay.\u00a0\u00a0We presented, sampled, and discussed the\u00a0similarities and differences of the\u00a0American Pale Ale and Double IPA.\u00a0 The beers we sampled were Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Lagunitas Hop Stoopid.\u00a0\u00a0If you have any ideas (or would like to volunteer) for educational topics for upcoming meetings, please let us know.<\/p>\n

Our next meeting is the Summer Party at Chet and Sonya\u2019s in Titusville.\u00a0 For the newer members, this is one great event!\u00a0 The club will be providing Santa Maria Tri-Tip and asks that each member bring a side dish and a bag of ice for the beer engine.\u00a0 There is also the annual lawnmower beer contest.\u00a0 Exactly as it sounds, the members vote on the best lawnmower beer that was brought.\u00a0 There will also one heck of a raffle!<\/p>\n

At the first stoplight (Singleton) take a left and follow it for about a mile and a half to the next stop light and then turn right onto Dairy Road. Chet\u2019s house is a brown brick about half a mile down on the right hand side (2945 Dairy Rd.)<\/p>\n

US-1 Directions<\/p>\n

Assuming you are coming from south Brevard, take US-1 north to Titusville. Drive all the way through Titusville. You will pass Searstown mall, Miracle City Mall, and Garden street (SR 406). Keep going until you see Parrish Hospital on your right hand side. The next light past the hospital is Dairy road. Take a left onto Dairy and follow it to the first light (Old Dixie Hwy). From here stay on Dairy for another half mile and you will see Chet\u2019s house on the left. It\u2019s a brown brick house and the address is 2945 Dairy Rd.<\/p>\n

Chet asks that we all park in the back until it\u2019s full. Then the overflow can go out front. There is a small fenced area between the house and the pool. Please keep the gates closed so that none of the guests, or the dogs, escape. If anyone has trouble finding it call Chet at 750-1116.<\/p>\n

Education<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This month\u2019s education is something a little different. I am not going to go over one style or get into a recipe, but I am going to give you the keys to all that and much more.\u00a0 Check out The Brewing Network web page for some great pod cast on brewing. I really like the Jamil Show Can You Brew It.<\/p>\n

Where the team discusses how to clone a different beer each week. There is plenty of great knowledge on the site to learn about brewing and all you have to do is download it and listen.<\/p>\n

Here is the link and it can also be downloaded for free on Itunes.<\/p>\n
