The Dozer

January, 2003

We discussed the schedule of events and meetings for the year. Our planning team has done a great job so far, but they could use any ideas you might have. Talk to Dr. Scott if you have ideas, or if you're interested in helping to plan a Pyramid-sponsored competition.

Next month is the club's all-Belgian competition. Bring in your Belgian beers and we'll have a great time tasting them.

Bring in your favorite gadgets for show-and-tell. We're going to try to have this every meeting. It's a great way to learn some neat tricks, and to show off your own cleverness. We're also starting a B3 "What's New" segment at the meetings. Some B3 person will tell us what the latest cool thing is, and give us a special club discount on it for that month.

Check out the Yahoo! "clubdoze" group! Chris will be showing us how to use and enjoy the Yahoo! group next month.

The web site update was slow in coming, Chris and Phil are ironing out the kinks and trying to keep this page up-to-date.

Big Brew is coming! March 9 is the date - come brew up a batch, help somebody else brew, or just walk around and watch!

Belgian Competition at the next meeting - Feb 24 Bring in your Belgian brew and hear what people have to say about it. We will bestow a "Best of Show" award to the one we like the best. It's too late to start brewing it now, but check out Dr. Scott's Belgian Style Guide to get a jump on what to expect.

Guest Speakers:

• Vinny from Russian River will talk about Belgians at the February meeting (the Belgian Brew-Off judging). Vinny has lots of experience with brewing and marketing Belgian-style beers.
• Chris White from White Labs will be speaking at the March meeting.

The Booneville trip will be April 19. Don't miss it!

Don't forget that March 10 is the deadline for the World Cup of Beer entries (hosted by Bay Area Mashers).
