[IBU] Beerfest

[John Martin]

I too had a great time and appreciate everyone's efforts to promote home
brewing and craft beer.  

 

A big thanks to Mike Edwards for his work printing the handouts and beer
menus.

 

Adam, I have your bungee strap...it's in the canister with the two
banners in the back of my vehicle.  We can swap the growler for the
bungee at the next meeting.

 

Cheers!

 

John Martin

I had a blast at the beerfest too.  One highlight was the private
tasting of Steve's (head brewer at Boulevard) Belgium (Triple, I
believe) that will not be released to the public until Sept.
I don't know who has the banners, but if there is a short green bungie
with the black tube, I'd like to claim it. 
I also have the brewing sheets and business cards, I don't mind hanging
onto them, but I think they would be better off with somebody in DSM in
case a need would arise for someone to pick them up.
John Martin, I also have your growler....somehow was in my blue tub. 
I also have a nice green crate, which I'm hoping nobody claims, because
I really like it and want to keep it. 
...And in case people are wondering it costs $21 for two people to take
a cab from downtown to the east side of Pleasant Hill. 

please remember your checkbooks or cash for dues ($25) and clothing
money if you haven't already paid me.
I also want to welcome Matt Braafhart, our newest dues paying member.
He brought a Amer. Wheat to serve at the brewfest as well. 

until July 16th.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had a great turnout at Beerfest
with a lot of people stopping by.  I had to leave a bit early, so sorry 
I wasn't there to help clean up!  Big thanks to Steve, John, Lauri,
Matt, Adam and the two Brians for bringing the great beer!

Also, since we handed out a fair number of "business cards" with our web

address on it, I thought I should get a blurb up about the mailing
list.  If you go to www.iowabrewersunion.org now, you'll see a link to
the mailing list archives/subscription page. 

And while I'm thinking about it, we were thinking that maybe the club
could pay for a jockey box that we could use at events like this, and
members could use when they have special occasions, like weddings, etc. 
Not sure if we should buy one flat-out or pay for the parts and build
one ourselves, but something worth considering for the next meeting.
(Personally, I think one with at least four taps would be nice, with
some sort of classy wooden bar-type wrap around it.)

Catch y'all later!
Mike
