Hey, all! Believe it or not, it's Brewfest time! I'm looking forward to trying all of your beers later this month.
If all goes as planned, we should have the Brewfest T-shirts on hand at the September meeting. We ordered a few extras in the popular sizes. If you're interested in purchasing extras, see me at the meeting or shoot me a message on the forum or Facebook. Remember, those who pay in advance using PayPal's send money to friends and family option will get to stand in the short line at the meeting to pick up their shirts. Those paying at the meeting will need to connect with Matt.
I've had several members ask me about doing a women's brew day again (similar to the one we did in March of last year). If that's something that interests you, please post here or talk to me directly. It'll be something we tackle after Brewfest.
Looking forward to seeing you Sept. 10! Cheers! — Jenalea
