President’s Report – Brian Pramov

• A huge Thank You to GRIST for allowing us to host our meetings here
• Castle Rock Homebrew Supply is still a great place to buy ingredients and equipment, and we will continue to support it! Eric was very kind to allow us to meet there, and we are grateful for that.
• Why did we move?
  • As many of you have heard, Eric is opening up 105 West Brewing Company in the current location of Castle Rock Homebrew Supply
  • The brew shop will be moved several doors down, and will not be large enough to hold us
  • We could have met in the brewery (when it opens) but Thursdays are not available for meetings
• As part of the move to a licensed establishment, the law has a grey area that we have interpreted to mean only registered members may consume homebrew. If you haven’t paid your dues to become a registered member, you can’t drink.

Event Director’s Report – Justin Vandegriffe

• We are in contact with Copper Kettle for another tour day, similar to our tour at River North.
