New Meeting Location for October!
We will be meeting at Wiley Roots Brewing Company - 625 3rd Street Unit D (Crabtree's old location) on Monday, October 14th. We are looking at splitting the mead tasting in to two sessions because we could have up to 18 different meads to try. We are still looking at January, although no specific dates have been set as yet.

Keep in mind our Holiday Beer Competition is coming up December 8th, 2013.
