Jeff and Ellen graciously offered their house for a December meeting-Christmas Party. Monthly Tasting This month's commercial beer month's tasting was Oktoberfest. Jeff told a little something about this month's style. The festival traditionally lasts from the third week in September to the first Sunday in October. It has its origins in a wedding banquet for the Princess Therese and the Crown Prince Ludwig I. Characteristic flavors are derived from the use of Vienna malt.
Many commercial examples are now available all year long.
From the President Election of Officers is coming up, so begin thinking about your ability to take some responsibility for the future of the Lawrence Brewer's Guild. According to the by-laws, no one can hold the same office for more than two years in a row. We will be needing some new blood for several offices, including President, Vice-President, and Biermeister. Feel free to talk with current officers about the responsibilities and time commitment involved. Your help is needed.
