November meeting this Thursday - BJCP Judging & Sensory Training presentation

[Tyler Ward]

Hey gang, the AHA has been helping to organize guest presentations at virtual brewclub meetings, and they finally picked us this month (I've been applying since July to get us on the list)! We will have Mike Brennan of BSG doing an overview of BJCP Judging and some sensory training for us. Yes, doing sensory training is tricky via Zoom, but we'll make do ;)

In preparation for the meeting, you'll need to pick up a bottle or two each of:

Full Sail Session Lager

Deschutes Black Butte Porter

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

We should have some PDF sheets to distribute ahead of the meeting too, so keep an eye out.

Meeting is at 7pm on Thursday, using the same Zoom link as last month : https://amazee.zoom.us/j/92489880205?pwd=bmEzbGFrcm1YMUxDUDF2Y0hKNGdUQT09

I'll also record the meeting so please be prepared to be on good behavior, at least for the presentation ;)

Friendly reminder to do your homework and have those 3 beers on hand. Also an update from our speaker, he expects the presentation to be 60-90 minutes. Once that is wrapped up we'll have an informal social time/hangout afterwards.
