Next
Meeting
October
13
at James & Brenda White’s residence
Directions:
Oktoberfest
at the White's
We
will once again be celebrating Oktoberfest at James' and Brenda's house. Brenda
will be fixing some tasty food, but you are welcome to bring any German dish
(That's food Ken, not a girl) and some beer.
If you have neither, come anyway. The
VanVugts are bringing spatzel. These
celebrations will start anytime after 5:30, which is the time I stop cleaning
and start drinking.
Directions
From Highway 52: Go south on 52
until you get to the Marion Road exit. Cross
over the bridge (Left) and travel about a 1/4 mile to the bottom of the hill and
then take a right and an immediate left onto 50th Ave.
50th is also known as County 11. Go
about a mile until you see my mail box (2920 50th Ave).
My drive way is right across from the mailbox (East side).
Park on the lawn somewhere.
Directions
from East Circle Drive or Highway 14 East:
Take East Circle south until it ends at Highway 14, go left (East).
Take Highway 14 a couple miles until it intersects with 50th Ave (County
11) and take a right
(south).
My place is on the other side of the really big hill in front of you.
Look for the mailbox (2920) and take a left into the driveway.
Any
questions, just yell...
James.

Other submitted pieces and
bits
From Dave Berg:
I
have created a new mailing list for the Minnesota Craft Brewer's Guild. The list will provide information on upcoming Guild events,
events at our member's establishments, and whatever else we want to advertise.
I
expect
that it will be quite a low traffic list.
If
you would like to be part of the mailing list, send an email to
majordomo@www.mncraftbrew.org
with
"subscribe mcbg" in the body of the message (leave out the quotes!)
To
unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mcbg" in the body of the message.

From Pam King:
The club has decided to purchase 50 new club glasses. We are going to get them from Dave. They are the glasses used at the Autumn Brew Review.
From James White:
Mark
Ingham and I took a quick trip up to Blue Max to round out our beer collections
a little bit more. They have All
Saints Belgian Golden Ale(brewed by Riva Brewery, Dentergem, Belgium) on sale
for $4.99 a six pack. Had one last
night after the trip and it's very drinkable.
They also had Eggenberg Ur Bock 23 for $1.99 a bottle.
They have a few cases left (one less than before we got there).
Brad's replacement (Tim?) commented that they will no longer be able to
get Hair of the Dog products. Not
sure if that is permanent, or just a temporary restriction.
From Ron Elshaug(Pam sez
he’s a birthday boy on Oct 6th):
Something
for the next Newsletter! Although I wouldn't recommend buying Bud!

Sometimes, good financial advice is
easy to take..........
"If one year ago you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock, it would
now be worth $49.
If on the same day you bought $1000 of Budweiser (the beer,
not the stock), drank it all, and traded in the cans for a nickel each,
you would have $79.
My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."
I
didn't author it, but I like it.
