Quoting Linda Swihart <swihart at purdue.edu>:

> We have a good group, about 18, planning to attend tonight.  Please 
> arrive at 6 if you can so we can start (a few people have to arrive a 
> bit later).  Here is the idea and the plan.
> 
> We hope for this to be the first of what will become a fairly regular 
> "business and beer education" type of meeting.  We are very thankful to 
> Paul for letting us have it at the Black Sparrow this time and we 
> promise to behave ourselves and still not be too boring.
> 
> We who have it will bring a little homebrew and *will not* start opening 
> it up right away and passing bottles around.  All beer will go into 
> labeled pitchers and we can have five or six of them going at a time; I 
> gotta see how many pitchers we have.  Paul said they have some too at 
> the BS. 
> 
> AGENDA, roughly
> 
> Ongoing -- The "Pitcher People," Nancy, Lloyd, and/or Victor will, in 
> some more or less organized fashion, pour your beer into a pitcher, or 
> give you the pitcher to pour it into, and make sure that you have a 
> label and indelible marker. 
> 
> At 6:15 or 6:30 we will begin a short presentation and tasting of 
> Morland's "Old Speckled Hen," which is regarded as a classic commercial 
> example of the style called "8C" also known as "English Pale Ale" also 
> called "ESB." by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP).  My 
> intention is that the cost of the samples of Old Speckled Hen will be 
> borne by the club, although I haven't cleared it with the other board 
> members yet.  There will be handouts of the BJCP style guidelines for 
> attendees.
> 
> At 7-ish might be the right time to have a break and if people want to 
> order food then this might be the time.
> 
> If it is necessary to order food or drink during a presentation, please 
> do this in a way that is quiet and doesn't interfere with others' 
> ability to hear the speaker or the discussion that might accompany the talk.
> 
> At 7:15 or 7:30 I'm hoping that Nancy and/or Lloyd.will tell about our 
> experiences at the Cincinnati National Homebrewers' Conference and the 
> THC table at "Club Night."
> 
> Probably around 8:00 we will have a short round of "NAME THIS BEER."  An 
> un-identified (but fairly well known and commercially available) beer 
> will be poured around, and adventurous and/or knowledgeable folks will 
> answer:
> 1 -- is it an ale or a lager?
> 2 -- what is the general category? (porter?  bock?  wheat beer?....)
> 3 -- what is the specific category? (Southern English Brown?  Russian 
> Imperial Stout?....)
> 4 -- what is this beer exactly?  (Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter?  
> Negra Modelo?  Kalamazoo Stout?)
> 
> And THEN..... we'll have some mead tasting.
> 
> At least I hope it all works out a bit like this.
> 
> See you soon.
> 
> PS -- Important note -- at the suggestion of some members I changed the 
> replies feature of the list so that all replies go by default to the 
> person who wrote the message to which you're replying.  If you mean to 
> send your reply to the entire list, you must remember to put the list 
> address in.  thc at lafinlarry.net  (And people keep asking me who is this
