Golden Growler Update:
   
Travis Skroch and Mike Roman both spoke about the upcoming Golden Growler competition.  We will be choosing our club's American IPA representatives at next month's meeting.  Mike took t-shirt orders and Travis asked people to sign up to help judge, steward, or other  volunteer efforts.

Kevin Eichelberg is nearly ready to start brewing over at Red Eye.  They should be opening in spring.

BJCP Judging:

Kevin Bowen/H&H:
   
Kevin Bowen informed us that he has given his notice to leave H&H and return to Fox Valley brewing.  This shouldn't effect our Golden Growler competition, and Kevin is still willing to help us out.  We'll miss you and the beers Kevin!
