Hi everyone, Happy Friday. I wanted to let you know about some free events in July that feature some rare Goose Island products. But first, I want to talk about volunteering for the Summer Party. There is an organizing meeting on July 11th at Dean’s house. If you are available to do some of the heavy lifting for the summer party (buying supplies, transporting kegs, renting chairs), we’d appreciate it if you could attend. Email me at president@pacificgravity.com so I can get a headcount since Dean will be providing dinner. If you can’t make the organizing meeting but would like to help and you didn’t sign up for it at the last club meeting, email me at president@pacificgravity.com and we can work out if you would like to help before during, and/or after the party. Finally, make sure you mark your calendars for July 20th for the summer party. And as I announced at the March meeting, unless you have heard otherwise from me your guests must pay $10 to attend the party in order for us to make up the costs.
Now for the Goose Island announcements:
“On Wed., July 10 from 6 – 9 p.m. at Beer Belly, we’ll be tapping a Bourbon County Stout Single Barrel, Bourbon County Stout Coffee (2012) and Bourbon County Stout Cherry, along with The Illinois, Sofie Paradisi, Matilda, Madame Rose (2010) and Juliet (2012). Brewmasters from Goose Island will be in attendance to talk great beer. Beer Belly is located at 532 S. Western Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90020.
Also, on Thur., July 11 from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Surly Goat, we’ll be sampling – Bourbon County Stout Single Barrel, Bourbon County Stout Cherry Rye, Bourbon County Stout Coffee (2011), Bourbon County Stout Vanilla (2010), as well as Sofie, Sofie Paradisi, The Illinois, Madame Rose and Night Stalker. Surly Goat is located at 7929 Santa Monica Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90046. Unfortunately, our brewer will not be around for this event.”
