The next monthly meeting will be on Tuesday September 7th at The Happy Gnome, starting around 7:00pm upstairs.
The topics for the meeting will be recipe formulation and brewing software, PC and Mac.
Bring your ears and something to take notes, and don't forget your beers for feedback. Having your notes from the brewing session will help in understanding what is good and not so good with your beer. So come prepared.

The champion beer of Britain, Harvest Pale (3.8%) from Castle Rock brewery in Nottingham was announced at the CAMRA GBBF on Aug 3rd, so this is not exactly hot off the press. Timothy Taylor's Landlord Bitter (4.3%) was the runner up, with Hammer Mild (3.8%) from Surrey Hills in third place.
What I find of interest is that the Champion beer is described as: 'blonde and refreshing with distinctive citrus hop.' , and it has an ABV of 3.8%. So who's going to brew a blonde session beer with Cascade hops?
Of the 25 beers in the winners list only 5 had an ABV of 5% or higher, the highest being an 1872 Porter and a Welsh beer(?) Ysbrid y Ddraig (Ramblers Ruin) both at 6.5%.
I wonder when, or if, any US brewers will follow suit and brew beers that we can have more than one of and still walk?
