Need to fix the February Meeting Minutes that say it's on May 8th (Monday??). It's actually Saturday, the 13th, per Benz's Facebook page.

Drat. That must be some kind of copy-paste error. Thanks for the catch.

Beer Nuts, we have 10 beers registered for this event on our app. Please continue to add beers. Bring anything you want to the festival even if was not on the app, but if you can, please add to app in advance to help with planning. Not as essential as our Homebrew Festival but still very helpful for Benz Beerfest.

I have to take a child to an event in CR the morning of May 13. I plan to be to Benzfest by 11:00 am with the trailer. Assuming we have at least 18 beers we plan to roll out both of the main bars. Festival starts at 1PM with the VIP pour and 2pm for the rest.

Also, bringing beer gets you free admission to the event. Can be kegs, bottles, growlers, whatever works for you.

I'll have to check the stash. I may have some 'parole denied' I can just out for a special occasion like this.

A few quick things:

1) I have pin lock kegs, anything I should mark on the app to indicate that?

2) I have one of the adapters to connect a faucet directly to a keg, if we have extra tub space on the side, I can bring that for one of my beers.

3) Still planning on 11am for setup?

I registered one mead in a ball lock keg. I will get it down to Benz on Friday.

My good friends Kurt and Kate Garretson from East Grove Farms Meadery will be pouring on Saturday at Benz. Please stop by and talk to them (and drink some of their fine meads).

I've got pin lock as well. I know there were hook ups for pin lock in the cache, I would assume we've still got them.

For pin locks the club has almost all MFL connectors on the bars with a hand full of pin lock connectors.
