Minutes from Bull Falls Brewers Meeting August 14, 2003


The August meeting was called to order by our president Mark Strehlow.  13 members present.  Mark started the meeting off by handing out labels for the beer everyone brought in and evaluation forms for everyone to critique the beers or wines that were brought in.
 
Brochure:  The sample brochure was passed around for everyone to see.
 
Logo:  We discussed finalizing a logo so we could put the logo on the glasses to use as prizes for the festival.  The cost of the glasses with a logo was more costly than the club wanted to commit to. 
 
Festival:  Bill mentioned Briess would send some freebees over when we have a count of entries for the festival.  He is also looking into Hop Union as a company to be featured at the festival.  The brewfest is set-up with judges and the location.  Mike Roman set-up the festival requirements for the festival.  We talked about having businesses from the area set-up a display at the brewfest.  If a business wants to bring a display they should contact Mark so he can make sure there are enough tables available.   Jill, Duane and Matt and I are in charge of getting posters to area businesses.  The number and type of bottles was discussed.  **A motion was made to have bottles of 12-22oz size without any labeling and indentifiable markings and that flip top bottles are acceptable in green or brown, and that at the next meeting the rules regarding next years fest wil be discussed and posted.**  We had a discussion.  The motion passed.  Mark will email clubs with fest information.   Jeff said members should bring equipment in for display.  **A motion was made to purhase handled 4oz glasses to give to the first 144 people who came to the festival.  We had a discussion. The motion passed.**  Duane is going to handle get the glasses from a distributor at Country Aire.
 
Prizes:  Jeff Berens suggested that we get some exotic beers to give out as prizes.  Mark said he would check into Hereford & Hops to see what kind of prizes we could get.  Tickets to the Ice Cold Beer Fest in Minocqua was another prize suggested.
