Idaho Falls Beer Club

theslats July 12th, 2010

Hello Beer Club Members,

Sorry we have been gone so long.  It took longer to recover from the beer fest this year.  The fest was great this year and we would like to thank all of you who helped out.  It is always a worthwhile effort; raising money for charity.  I hope you all feel good for your efforts.

We have a number of things up coming this summer.  The annual trip to the ball park to watch the Chukars will come up soon. August 15^th is the date we are planning on.  We are also trying to get a picnic and /or golf outing together for the end of July.  Please watch the web site for details.

The Eastern Idaho State Fair homebrew competition is also coming up.  This year we are not only judging beer but homemade wine as well.  I know many of you also make wine and we encourage you to participate in the competition as a competitor and a judge.  We will need a number of judges with some wine experience to work with us to pull this out.  If you are interested in the homemade wine competition contact us.

The homebrew competition will be judged differently this year.  We hope to do the bulk of the judging the week before the fair and only do the best of show judging and the wine judging at the fair.  This will allow us to have most of our judges participate and still take off the long weekend.  We need an organizer to run the competition. If you are a new judge and need some extra points, this is a good opportunity.

GABF??? The Great American Beer Fest is September 16-18 this year.  There have been more and more people expressing interest in bussing down to Denver to see this spectacle.  We need to get on this ASAP if we want to find good accommodations and get a bus AND the tickets are fast being sold out.  We don’t know the cost but it would be in the neighborhood of $500+ per person for the bus, tickets, and hotel assuming we get 25 people or more.  Let us know by July 16^th (that’s this Friday!) If we don’t get at least 20 serious people we won’t be able to do it this year.

Judge Class:  If you would like to take a judge class send an email to bob@northamericanbrewers.org

Stay tuned,
Cheers,

The Board
