\nPresident’s Blowoff<\/strong><\/h2>\nHi Brewers!<\/p>\n
We just had a great weekend at Craft Beers in the Park. We helped raise money for St. Baldrick\u2019s and supported one of our best sponsors! In case you missed it, we conducted a live brewing demo on the patio thanks to Sean McCoy for blowing it out of the water and sharing his brewing knowledge with festival patrons! We made a Honey Lager recipe made by the one and only Charlie Papazian, who is celebrating his last year as a governing member of the AHA. Cheers Charlie for all you have done to further the hobby!<\/p>\n
We also served hand crafted beers from our members to very positive feedback, while getting the chance to recruit new members and talk about the Bottoms up Beer Run coming up in June!<\/p>\n
On another note if you love getting feedback we encourage you to enter your Homebrew beers in our circuit competitions! Hogtown Brew-off and Sunshine Challenge are imminent, while the next opportunity looking is First Coast Cup in Jacksonville. Look for further updates on the SAAZ Facebook page for details!<\/p>\n
Look forward to seeing everyone at the May meeting at Broken Barrel Tavern in Palm Bay on the 20th!<\/p>\n
Cheers!<\/p>\n

Yep, it\u2019s time for LAWNMOWER BEER!\u00a0\u00a0 Brew up your best light, refreshing summer beer (5% or less ABV) that you would grab on a hot day after mowing the yard to compete for a $50 Brock\u2019s gift card.\u00a0 Judging (and drinking!) will take place at the Summer Party on July 16th.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nOfficers Meeting Highlights<\/h2>\n\n- Review of April meeting at World of Beer.\u00a0 Well attended.\u00a0 Shelly Cavins to send thank you.<\/li>\n
- \u00a0Discussion of upcoming competitions:\u00a0 Most of the Florida Circuit competitions are capping entries at 300 to 400, which means they are filling up very quickly.\u00a0 Hogtown and Sunshine Challenge are now open.\u00a0 First Coast Cup entry window still TBD.\u00a0 SAAZ needs to try to support these comps as much as possible with judging and stewarding.\u00a0 We will look to participate in \u201cbeer trains\u201d for entries if possible.<\/li>\n
- Commander SAAZ:\u00a0 Dates set for September 14 (Commander\u2019s Call) and 15 (Awards Dinner) at the Radisson at the Port in Cape Canaveral.\u00a0 The Radisson has agreed to the same terms we had arranged at the Doubletree (which is still closed for repairs).\u00a0 Some helpful features that the Radisson will be providing are dedicated walk-in coolers, an extra room in which to store equipment, and a segmented judging\/dining hall that will allow us perform multiple functions at the same time.\u00a0 Competition medal designs were reviewed in preparation for a cost-effective multi-year purchase.\u00a0 Need to line up the rest of the sponsorships for this event.\u00a0 Commemorative beer has been brewed (sorry, still a secret).<\/li>\n
- Summer party:\u00a0 Location (Pelican Beach Clubhouse, A1A, Melbourne) reserved and fee paid.\u00a0 Food decisions made (tri-tip, and attendees to bring sides).\u00a0 Attendees at the spring party seemed to enjoy the \u201cfood competition,\u201d so in addition to the lawnmower beer competition, we\u2019re going to have a side dish competition.<\/li>\n
- SAAZtoberfest:\u00a0 Location (Rotary Park Suntree) reserved and fee paid.<\/li>\n
- Bottoms Up Beer Run (BUBR):\u00a0 Planning going well. Medals assembled by board members.\u00a0 Still need help with promotion.\u00a0 Sponsorships need to be finalized by May 15th to make the t-shirt deadline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\nCommander SAAZ Sponsorships Available<\/h2>\n
<\/a>Do you have friends\/contacts with businesses?\u00a0 Our Commander SAAZ event offers sponsorship levels suitable for any budget.\u00a0 Each competition entrant (and we expect many hundreds since this competition does not have an entry limit) will receive a printout, similar to the sponsors page on SAAZ\u2019s website.\u00a0 The listing follows the order of the sponsorship levels (Platinum sponsors listed first, then Gold, and so on).\u00a0 By donating to our competition, companies will be getting their product to the appropriate and appreciative beer-centric audience.\u00a0 Email Cmdr.SAAZ@saaz.org<\/a> if you can help with sponsors, either by recruiting the sponsor yourself or by providing a lead for a potential sponsor.\u00a0 We have an introductory letter that provides information about SAAZ, its educational and community service work, and explains the sponsorship levels.<\/p>\n
