Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

Hello everyone, the next meeting will be on Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 7:00 PM. The place will be the Longbranch Hotel & Restaurant & Convention Center. See their website from more info and directions.

http://www.thelongbranch.com/

It is located off 1st Ave sort of behind Bed, Bath & Beyond. We hope to welcome some new people from the Festival of Iowa Beers, discuss ideas for a new club serving system for festivals, and many other topics.

Remember to bring your American IPA's for the September club competition which will take place next week.

I know this has been explained, but I am dense. Are we bringing the beers to the meeting (to be judged after)? Or are we turning in the beers in advance (to be judged before the meeting)?

Just to drop off. Judging will take place another day after the meeting.

This also means we will be looking for a couple of volunteers to help judge on a non meeting night. Of course we prefer that you don't have any entries. I will try and get more info put together for the judging as it has become to difficult to judge on meeting nights.

Since I don't bottle, when will the actual judging be and take place? I will have to bring it in a growler or something.

I'd be down for doing some judging,

You should bust out that beer gun. My bottles stay carbed for a long time. I am going to be entering a bottle I filled on saturday, because I took the keg to a party.

I plan to enter a beer so I shouldn't judge this one.

Big T - do you want the bottles per comp specs - no labels, distinctive caps, etc. with a "standard" removable entry form rubberbanded to the bottle?

That would be great if u use two plain bottles with the style and name rubberband around the bottle don't worry about the actual form.

I had a great ipa but accidentally frank it all..so I get to judge.

I may be able to judge or steward it depends on when we do it.

I, too, may be able to judge/steward/apprentice/guzzle depending on when you're doing it.

Same here, depending on when this occurs, I may be able to judge or stewert, not entering a beer, so I thought I would throw my name in.

We will discuss the details of where, what, whom ect. at the meeting. It looks like we may have a few judging candidates. I could probably host. The brewery makes a nice staging area and our judges can sit at tables in the rec room or at the bar. I also have an empty bedroom next to the bar where a table can be setup and the judges could be isolated. I have plenty of cold space for the entries too.

Anyone else planning to show up early for the $3 wing pig out in the lounge? Starts at 5pm.

My Bees (that would be Georgia Tech) be playing Miami (aka Ghetto Thugs) on ESPN @ 6:30pm. So, I'm planning to be at the Lounge around 6pm.
