Greetings Everyone, As I sit here typing this the snow is gently falling outside and I am anxiously awaiting Monday to come for one reason only, our monthly Sons of Liberty Home Brew Club Meeting! That’s right! This is the one Monday a month that you can actually look forward to and this one is even more special with our special guest speaker Annette May.

As some of you know Annette is deeply immersed in the craft beer and homebrewing culture and has been for over 20 years. She is both a BJCP judge and a Certified Cicerone® as well as an instructor in the Schoolcraft College Brewing & Distillation Technology Certificate Program, and works for the Cicerone Certification® program as an exam grader and exam proctor. Additionally she founded Know Beer LLC and is the events coordinator for Fermenta, Michigan Women’s Craft Collective. In short she knows her stuff.

Annette will be sharing a small bit of her knowledge with us on Monday at Liberty Street Brewing Company at 7pm and will be speaking to us about some of the changes to the BJCP guidelines and what this means to us as brewers.

If you have a copy of the 2015 BJCP Guidelines please bring it with you for a reference. If you don’t have it yet you can download it from http://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf. There are also mobile apps for download on both iOS and Android for your phone or tablet.

This meeting is open to anyone interested in attending so please share. All guests will need to bring a completed guest waiver with them to the meeting which is available on our website.

Looking forward to seeing you all there,

Cheers and Happy Brewing

Leigh
