MINNESOTA TIMBERWORTS

The November 2001 Rochester Homebrew Club Newsletter

 

Next Meeting

 

November 10th at Ron Elshaug’s residence

 

Directions:

 

The style is Belgian Strong. If you can't find a Belgian Strong, any Belgian style beer will do. I will have a few door prizes to give away like beers and glassware.

 

From the corner of 37th Street North and Hwy 63 at Shopko North, there are two ways you can go. You can head east on East Circle Drive about ½ mile and turn north (left) onto Alberta Drive (next to the Northern Valley Animal Clinic). Go down Alberta Drive for about ½ mile. Glacier Lane is a short cul-de-sac on your right. You can also go north from Shopko on Hwy 63 for ½ mile and turn east (right) on 41st Street (by the boat dealer). As you go down 41st Street it will turn into Alberta Drive. Go down Alberta Drive for about ½ mile. Glacier Lane is a short cul-de-sac on your left. My house is the smoky blue house on the corner with the mailbox on the corner of the property. My phone number is 507-282-8185.

 

Jim suggested that maybe I start early and get a couple of pizzas from Papa Murphy's. So I think that I will be my plan. I think I will start around 6 pm with the pizzas. I have a number of pizza coupons for Papa  Murphy's. If people are interested in Pizza, they should let me know what they like or don't like on their pizza. If they would like to bring something else, please let me know. I will also try and have a couple of pumpkin pies, too.

 

Thanks,

Ron E

From Pam King:

 

 

I would like to order some carboys.  I know when we have done this in the past we get a better deal if we order a bunch at a time.  If you are interested please let me know so we can coordinate the purchase.

 

 Thanks
