Blow off from the Prez<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, it is official! Entries for the 16th<\/sup> Commander SAAZ Interplanetary Homebrew Blastoff (CSIHB) are being accepted!\u00a0 While I can tell you it has been slightly chaotic preparing for such an event, Dani and the rest of our officers have put together a list of events that will knock your Solid Rocket Boosters off!\u00a0 Make sure to check out the entry information, rules, and schedule of events later in the newsletter.<\/p>\n

Our next regularly scheduled meeting will be at Chet and Sonya Spark\u2019s house in Titusville.\u00a0 We will be getting there early to sort the approximately 1200 or more bottles of beer, but we hope to be done at 2pm so we can start the regular meeting.\u00a0 Let me know if you are interested in coming early to help sort, we will need about 7 people to help.<\/p>\n

There has been a lot going on at several of the local beer establishments.\u00a0 I will try to summarize a few of the ones I attended.\u00a0 The Rep from Sierra Nevada was at Florida Wine and Spirits this past month and sampled some great beers.\u00a0 They just released the third in their series of 30th<\/sup> anniversary beers as well as Tumbler, a slightly smokey brown ale.\u00a0 Sunseed had a Stone beer and cheese pairing that was great.\u00a0 Rumor is, he was able to get a few bottles of the 12th<\/sup> Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout.\u00a0 Most recently was Bluepoint night at WOB.\u00a0 Hoptical Illusion, Rastafa Rye, American Pale ale, and 10th Anniversary IPA were just a few of the special drafts they had.<\/p>\n

Enjoy reading on and get ready for Commander SAAZ Interplanetary Homebrew Blastoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n
