There is no formal agenda. This meeting is a potluck where the club provides the main course and members provide a side or desert. Because the club is providing the main course this meeting is limited to those members in good standing and their +1.
Lineage, is closed to the public on Mondays, they’ll be open just for the club event.
Please remember:
Dirty Santa is a gift exchange where you bring a large format (750ml or 22oz bomber) bottle of commercial beer and put it inside a gift bag. One person starts by taking a bag off the table that’s not theirs and this continues until everyone has a gift. Basically it’s a white elephant gift exchange but instead of gifting junk you are giving delicious craft beer. The only requirements for this are that you buy a quality beer and bring it concealed in a gift bag.
Christmas/Winter Speciality (21B), Belgian Specialty (16E), Wood Aged (22C), Speciality (23, convince us it’s Christmas).

Learn to Homebrew Day was established by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in 1999 to encourage people to homebrew. The event involves homebrewers bringing their equipment to a location and brewing beer while people new to the hobby ask questions. More information on the event and the history of it can be found here.
If you plan on brewing please be patient when it comes time to chill your beer as this can be a bottleneck at events like this.

Official, meeting activities will begin at around 7:00 pm, but Combustion will be opening at 6:00 if you want to swing by early and grab a beer or two before we start. They are not normally open on Mondays, so we’ll have the place to ourselves, but that does mean the full kitchen will not be available. There will be bar snacks(nut mix, pretzels, chips) available, and they said anyone is welcome to bring food if you want to eat dinner, or order from Romeo’s pizza, which is next to the brewery.

This is a thematic based around fall. What does this mean? Well you could enter an Oktoberfest, a pumpkin beer, a Belgian Fall Saison, a Belgian Pale that evokes feelings of fall. The theme is fall and you can make that work however you want.

Bring your entries to the meeting and give them to Gautam.
