Where

Lineage Brewing Company
2971 N High St

What

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:

  1. Everyone must be 21, no exceptions.
  2. Drinking and driving is a serious and deadly felony. Make appropriate travel arrangements.

Dirty Santa

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.

Club Competition

Christmas/Winter Speciality (21B), Belgian Specialty (16E), Wood Aged (22C), Speciality (23, convince us it’s Christmas).

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.
