Brett Writes:

bq. Greetings fellow fish,

bq. This Saturday is the annual AHA Big Brew Day, which also coincides with our
monthly group brew. Homebrewers all across the world will be working off of
a similar set of recipes, brewing beers that will be tallied and posted by
the AHA. This year's recipe is a clone of Fullers Chiswick Bitter. This
beer was choosen because it was a favorite of the late, great beer champion
Michael Jackson.

bq. The brew will be at my new residence, 1983 NE Jackson Avenue, and we'll
start around 10:30AM. I will be unveiling my new brew system this weekend,
known as the Ark. Kris Cate and I spent a lot of time and money on this
work of art, and welcome all of you to come by and check it out. I will be
brewing up a batch of something strong and dark on the new system, but would
like someone to bring enough gear to brew a five gallon extract batch of the
Chiswicks Bitter. I already have the ingredients rounded up, and a healthy
yeast cake to dump the brew onto.

bq. This weekend's brew will also serve as our unofficial COHO de Mayo party.
We'll be making tacos with all the fixings, along with my ever popular queso
dip. We'll have the club's lime lager on tap, as well as keg of Silver
Moon's Snake Bite Porter.

bq. I'll forward a map in a separate email, to follow shortly. Hope to see
everyone on Saturday!

bq. BT
