Novemember Meeting Notes

[Michael James]

Our November meeting was at SF Brewing Co

• The December meeting will also be at SF brewing: December 17th
• Our Next Competition will be in February: Coffee Beers in any style
• We will do a Tequila/Mezcal tasting in a few months.  I (Michael) will host.  Possibly early March and on a weekend.  Unless someone has a library of tequila already, I will do some shopping and ask for donations at the tasting.
• Charles has plans for a soured stout to go into our 25 gallon barrel.  He will send out a tentative recipe to see who is interested in contributing a batch.
