Our own Mike McDole got a nice write up in the local press, along with prominent mention of the club! Once again, congrats Mike! New visitors should know that our club meetings are the last non-holiday Monday evening of every month, in the showroom of Beer, Beer & More Beer (aka B3) in Concord, CA. Meetings are open to the public, feel free to stop by and check one out before you decide to join.

Our monthly meeting at Beer Beer and More Beer in Concord. Socializing starts at 6:30, we get down to business at 7. Topics this month will include the awesome showing by club members at recent competitons, upcoming club competitions and brewing technique.

It probably comes as no surprise to regular club members, but Mike McDole is one of the three winners in this year’s Sam Adams Longshot competition. His beer will be released in a 3 pack later this year, and will be available in stores nationally. Awesome job Mike, as usual! According to Jon, Mike is also pushing hard towards California Home Brewer of the year, along with Virg Redman. Keep up the awsome work guys.

The DOZE entry in the September/October Club Only Competiton picked up a 3rd place! Congratulations to Scott Lothamer and Justin Crossley for their “Black Peter”! The upcoming November/December comp is Pilsners with Dark Lagers coming up really quickly in January.

For those who missed the meeting last night, Rachelle should have the 2007 club t-shirts at the next club meeting or in time for NCHF. This year’s colors are red and blue tye dye. Some members have talked to me about an option for DOZE shirts on a plain colored t-shirt. This link has several options (t-shirts and a collared golf shirt). I’ve set the prices at cost, and there is no ordering minimum.

Rachelle asked me to post this…so here it is.
