Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

Yes sir, that's Scott from my new club. He's a really good brewer. Made a Pliny clone that was spot on. Sounds like everyone had a great time. Wish I could have made it. I told the guys from the new club to look for you guys. Apparently they found at least some of you. Haven't heard any stories yet....

I'll have to admit that the weather here is much better than CR. We got almost 12 inches of snow here last Thurs (an all-time record) and it was basically gone by Sat. The temp here today was about 55 and it will hit almost 60 by Sat but dropping back to the 40s/50s next week. That said, I still wis...

I second that. Glad everyone is doing well. And don't worry, you'll get some sleep again in a couple of years!

I think the flyer looks great. You could also make one with the meeting place blank as well as the date so you could just fill that in too in case you're meeting somewhere else but want to post it. Either way, it looks really good and should get people's attention. I'm sure Benz and Hy Vee Drug will...

Although pretty short notice, maybe a few of the club members who want to try to submit an entry could brew a beer and the club would have to 'approve' it for submission since it will be representing the club. If the club wins it would be good publicity and fun to say a club beer is being sold at Hy...

I'm not bringing anything since I won't be there; but wish I could be there with you guys. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. Have a great time and take lots of incriminating pictures that you can post on the club site that I can see. Haven't found a brew pub around here at all (Gordon Biersch doesn'...

This will be my final 'official' post, at least for a while. I just wanted to let everyone know that it has been a pleasure being your president for the past few years and I've enjoyed getting to know everyone. I've made a lot of good friends and will miss sharing a beer with all of you. The club ha...

If I'm working and can get off from a new job, I'm in! (and if my wife will let me go). Actually, I've wanted to go to one of these for some time. Would be a great excuse to get together with you guys again.

As Tony knows far better than I (I've only been there twice, and that was before the flood) Zins has really good food and is a cool place. Offering club members a 25% discount is very cool and I'd go in a heartbeat if I was going to still be here then. Unfortunately, I'll be on my way to Dallas that...

I'm very glad to see that some of you are stepping up to take on these positions with the club. I think we have a great club going here and I'd hate to see it slow down for lack of participation. It's really not that tough to go out drinking one other day a month to get some decisions made or get an...

Great idea. Too bad I won't be around long enough to enjoy it much, but there's still a few weeks left! I'm usually available most evenings, so if you're out and about for a "cocktail" post it and I'll try to join you. I'd like to be able to see you guys as much as possible before I have t...

Elections are coming up in November for the four club executive positions. They are President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. If you would like to run for a position, please post your name and what position you want to run for on this post. We will definitely need a new Pres since I will p...

BYO is a great mag. Several of the club members subscribe, including myself. If I make the meeting on Thurs I'll try to remember to bring a few recent issues so you can look thru them. Well worth the subscription price.

Yeah, the host is not supposed to supply most of the beer, the club members are supposed to bring beer to share. Shouldn't be a problem. On another note, I may or may not make the meeting due to the fact that I'm under the weather right now. I'll see how I'm feeling by Thurs. but right now I feel li...

Looking forward to all the heart clogging deliscousness. Any suggestions on what I can bring to accompany this? Maybe cole slaw?
