Agenda:
- Work shirts are in!
- Perfect Brewing will be holding a March Madness brew and BBQ event on March 18. If you would like to attend, please RSVP directly to the shop so Andy can get a head count for food.
- Mundelein Craft Beer Festival is upcoming on June 10, and NUBS has the opportunity to represent the hobby with a booth again this year. Matt will be looking for volunteers to pour and keg donations as we get closer.
- There will be a big beer festival, Great Taste of the Midwest, in Madison, WI the second Saturday in August, with a bus available to take attendees from Gurnee Mills to the event. If you are interested, contact Dan Berger for tickets and pricing.
- Craig, in his role as ambassador from Club Wort to NUBS, has invited us to participate in the brew-ins that are run on that club’s 40 gallon system, and which he typically coordinates. The way this works is that you buy a share of wort to ferment as you please; shares sell out fast, so if you are interested, sign up quickly! If you are interested, reach out to Craig to get on the distribution list for announcements.
- Beer of the Quarter! In a field of two dark milds (13A), eight British brown ales (13B), and five English porters (13C), we had a clear winner: Mark Kunke (porter) with six votes. In his absence our runner up, Mark Procter (brown ale), with four votes, signed the creepy horse head.
