Hoppers,

A local business association, the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts
(CBCA), has asked the Rock Hoppers /exclusively/ to participate in their
October Happy Hour Event.

During the event, members of the club will be serving homebrewed beverages
donated by our membership -* and this is where /you/ come in*.

If you are able, please bring samples of your homebrew to the September
meeting to serve at this event. No amount is too small.

Possible Inter-Club Brew Experiment / Competition

Poste by Ryan Thomas on the Front Range Homebrewer’s Guild Board:

Jeff Griffith at Golden City Brewing Company (the 2nd largest brewery in Golden) has suggested what I think will be an interesting experiment. He’s willing to give out one of his recipes, which our various groups (individuals, teams, clubs, etc.) would brew.

All interested parties could gather at the end to sample the different end-products and possibly do a blind judging. Writing up the results for one of the brewing mags would also be an option.

If any Hoppers are interested, please sign up below and I’ll let Ryan know.

Thanks,

Geoff
