April 2024 Meeting Minutes
Location: Wagon Wheel BBQ, Mountain View CA
MoreBeer
We are ready for another brew-in at MoreBeer. There will be a discount available during that weekend. We will be brewing an DME American Pale Ale. John W will not be able to make it but will let us borrow his kettle. Mark C bringing his burner. Noel the cooling system. Lincoln will be the brewer. Beer sampling and other details should be the same as the last event. Hope everyone can come and visit.
Beer City Almaden
It is 6 weeks away. The setup will be different. Instead of setup early in the morning, we start later. Serving starts at 1pm so that the sponsor beer is available to runners before the festival. The current beer list:
- Lincoln: APA
- Noel: Helles
- Steve: Tangerine Wheat
- Tony: Mex Lager
- Mark & Craig: TBD
Beer City Fremont
Still planning on attending. We hear that Bay Area Mashers are attending too.
July brew style/Broken Hydro
Still having discussions about Broken Hydro. We are leaning toward randomly grabbed hop bag(s). July style maybe complicated by both broken hydro, Beer City Fremont, and NHCF on the horizon. We will decide this by the May meeting
NCHF
Mardi Gras – Sept 21st
Stein’s Competition
Congrats to Steve K for finishing second.
World Cup results and sampling
Congrats to all the participants. Scores were in the low 30s, up to 35. Mark C and Tony S had BOS consideration in the category. We sampled bottles that weren’t submitted and had score sheets available for everyone to see how they were scored and discuss
Bock Tasting
John W brought a Dunkel and Tony S brought a MaiBock. Mark C was unable to because of family member consumption.
