Pacific Gravity Update: October Meeting, Etc
OCTOBER CLUB MEETING
This is no Trick, but definitely a Treat .. our next club meeting will be held at an exciting new venue: PG Member Joe Kovach’s “new” brewery, Tortugo Brewing Company. Joe has some tasty beers on tap, and has some pretty interesting plans for future beers and expansion.
We will also be finalizing the board member election slate of the 2019 P.G. Board (see below for nomination info).
When: Thursday, October 18, 2018
Time: 7:30pm
Where: Tortugo Brewing Company, 916 W Hyde Park Blvd, Inglewood, CA.
Hyde Park Blvd is a few blocks East of Three Weavers, and around the corner from iconic Randy’s Doughnuts. From La Cienega and Florence, go east on Florence about 1/4 mile, turning left at the first street. Go under the metro rail tracks, proceed to the big orange building on the East side of the street.
EDUCATION HIGHLIGHT: In the second of a series, Carl will be demonstrating how water chemistry affects the taste of your homebrew, and how you can fine tune your H2O to the style you are brewing.
COMMERCIAL STYLE of the MONTH: European Pale Ales.
And whatever Joe Has On Tap.
HOMEBREW STYLE of the MONTH: European Pale Ales, and any home-brewed IPA.
IMPORTANT!!! BOARD MEMBER NOMINATIONS REQUESTED
As we advised previously, Tim Bardet is retiring as Treasurer. Also, President Michael Musgrave recently started a new position that is sure to take up significant amounts of his time.
If you are keeping score, that is one firm opening (Treasurer), and a potentially provisional opening (President).
Please consider volunteering your nomination, either by emailing the board (board @ pacific gravity . com) or by voice at the October meeting. Nominations will be accepted for all elected board positions.
Voting will be held at the November meeting.
NOMINATION REQUEST #2: P.G. CLUB MEMBER OF THE YEAR
Do you think one of your fellow Pacific Gravity members has gone above and beyond helping P.G. be the great home brewers club that it is? If so, please be sure to nominate him/her at the October meeting, or by email to the board.
Voting will be held at the November meeting.
