Jeremy agreed to host a belated (because of the 4th) group brew. Jeremy writes:
bq. Hello Folks,
I just wanted to put out a reminder about the upcoming group brew at my house down town! It will be next Saturday and I was thinking of starting a little early due to the possibility of hot weather; so around 9am. I will be brewing a big Belgian with a high temperature tolerant yeast to match! I plan on grilling up some burgers and sausages (bring anything else you may want to put on the grill).
As you may have heard I live near Columbia and Drake park so bring your swim suites and flotation devices. A few block walk gets you a half hour float or jumping off the foot bridge is refreshing too.
Bring whomever you want and drop me a line to let me know if you can make it!
bq. Thanks and Happy 4th,
bq. Jeremy Holbrook "345 NW Riverside Blvd., Bend, OR 97701":http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=345+NW+Riverside+Blvd.,+Bend,+OR+97701&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.371738,60.820313&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=345+NW+Riverside+Blvd,+Bend,+Deschutes,+Oregon+97701&z=16
The club meeting will be at The Brewshop this coming Wednesday as
usual. However, we can not currently allow folks to bring their
Homebrew for sampling. Until we have some official dispensation we
will have to leave our creations at home, but you can bring a
commercial beer to sample if you want to share something particular. We
will attempt to provide something appropriate for the club as well.
See you there!
So, it's SysAdmin's day... Just sayin...
