President’s Blowoff<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Hi Brewers!<\/p>\n

Lots of exciting stuff is in the works!<\/p>\n

Most importantly our upcoming Spring Party at Rotary Park on March 17. This will include our Irish Beer Challenge and a special competition for an Irish side dish or dessert in honor of St. Patrick\u2019s Day! If anyone wants to donate a keg to fill our jockey boxes let us know!<\/p>\n

Special guest Denny Conn will be joining us via Skype at our member meeting at Iron Oak post Feb 18th. He will be talking with us about experimental homebrewing, recipe formulation and answering some questions. Please join us!<\/p>\n

Also, we have competitions coming up so double check the schedules and get brewing for Palm Beach Hurricane Blowoff!<\/p>\n

Speaking of competitions, we can\u2019t have great competitions without great judges. If you are currently a BJCP judge either active or inactive please email me and let me know your rank and status! We want to make sure all judges are in the loop as far as what\u2019s going on in the Florida circuit.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I want to announce our plans for the Member Bus Trip. You must be a dues paying member to receive the $30 discounted rate. We will be doing a portion of the Central Florida Ale Trail including some new breweries in the Orlando area. The planned date is June 30th and will be an all-day event. Please RSVP on the sign-up sheet handed around each meeting. If we don\u2019t have enough paid signups by the May meeting we will cancel the trip, and issue refunds as needed. We hope everyone will join us for a lot of fun and social activity<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n

Brian<\/p>\n
