[IBU] October 15 IBU Meeting

[Brian Lenderts]

I have some left over IPA from Court that I will bring.  Also, be sure to
say thanks to those who shared the commercial varieties at the IBU Ofest -
Court Ave, El Bait shop, and of course Raccoon as they have shared beer the
past several years.  They were very generous.
