We another sucessful meeting yesterday, with our first beer enthusiast, Ken Kelly, joining the club. Other highlights included a RIS tasting with North Coast's Old Rasputin IS winning easily over the field of six. We are going to brew for the Kewaunee Lions Club "Roar on the Shore" event in March. Tim and myself are planning to brew a batch each, with the goal of getting four club member's brews on tap. Also, 2009 dues will be happily accepted by either of the club officers. Dues remain at $10 and you will receive a laminated card this year!

Check out the Czar's blog with info about my trip to Denver for GABF 2008. Also, I have added a style spotlight for this month's featured beer-IPA. Tim will have a number of IPAs on tap next weekend. Please RSVP ASAP for this must-attend event. Also feel free to bring your own samples, especially if you have an IPA. TIm will have all American-style IPAs, so you won't need to review the English IPA (14A). We will not have a formal meeting at this event. Hope to see you there.

We had a very productive meeting at Jon Coyne's last Saturday. We sampled and learned more about Kolsch. Goose Island's Summertime Kolsch beat out Jon's "So light your Mother could drink it." After much discussion, we picked Maibock/Helles Bock to be the lead style for the '09 BMC. We'll also challenge the Bay de Noc Brewers to club competition for this style pitting our three best Maibocks against their's. More to come on that later. To give this beer enough time to age/lager, we will be holding a multiple brewer session at my place in Beecher in February. I have an insulated garage that could easily hold five brewers, maybe more depending on the weather. We discussed '08 Oktoberfest. Please email Tim to RSVP for this must attend event! We played the new official sport of TCF: Hammerschlagen. If you would like to host a future meeting, email Jon and he'll tell you how easy it was. We need brewers/hosts for a number of upcoming meetings.

The TCF website has a new logo and motto, thanks to the Czarina! So I re-designed the front page of the website. Let me know what you think. We will also be looking at selling TCF T-Shirts to anyone interested in the near future. Maybe even imperial pint glasses. More to come on that.
