If you plan to attend mtg at Garys this Sat, please let me know ASAP. Time, format & location will be determined by the number who plan to attend. I will bring the Saison from Nov and the brown ale from Nov 2019, assuming it's still good. Will also have some mead for tasting. If anyone else wants to provide samples, let me know what so we can use the chalk board. We will probably start & finish earlier than normal.

We will make several changes to SOM Comp in the hope that it will create more interest & participation. Instead of 1 gift certificate, the winner each month will get a $25 for each month he or she wins. They will be given out at the 2022 Christmas party. I will pass on the certificate this year. The winner each month will pick the style for that month for the next year. Oct & Dec are locked in. March has a choice of Irish Red or Stout. We will start this in 2022.  The winners are listed below. I have filled in my months. Those who are named will select for that month in 2022. Please let me know  what your choice is ASAP. Do it before Christmas. This week is better. Scott gets one of my months since he got Oct & Dec.

Feb-Rick
Mar-Irish Red
Apr-Rick
