Oops! It's been a while since this has been updated. My apologies! The club is still going strong, however. In April and May, we had meetings with 20 members, and July and August came close with numbers in the high teens. Great to see such a strong turn-out for the club!
This month, we have a slight change in our venue. One of our members, Ray, is also owner of PA BBQ - now the only BBQ restaurant in Indiana. The club will meet on Tuesday, Sept 14 at PA BBQ, starting after 7pm. This is a BYOB event, whether homebrew or a commercial example. Ray will provide a small buffet of ribs, pulled pork, and some other goodies, and asks only for a $5 payment to cover the cost of food. Thanks Ray!
Next month, we'll be back to the Coney as usual.

February/March Club Meetings
Despite the bad weather and threat of more snow, we did have our normally scheduled February meeting at the Coney.
About a dozen folks showed up, and we tasted three homebrewed offerings.
We also decided that we will now be known officially as the Indiana Pennsylvania Alesmiths (IPAs), and Nate will register our club with the American Homebrewers Association.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 9 at 8pm at the Coney.

January 2010 Meeting
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few months ... we'll try to do better in 2010.
The club met on Jan 12, 2010 at 8pm at the Coney with several members in attendance and several homebrewed examples.
A suggestion was brought forth by Bill Dietrich to name the club the Indiana Pennsylvania Alesters (IPAs), and that we should think about getting 'official' glasses for our tastings. In addition, several people suggested starting the process of becoming recognized by the AHA in the future.
Our next meeting will be on Tue Feb 9.

September Meeting
Hope that you are getting back into the swing of a new school year - whether IUP's or the local elementary/high schools. For those who don't have to worry about such things anymore - hope you're enjoying some great early Fall weather and the Indiana Co Fair.
This is a reminder that our Sept club meeting will be Tue Sep 8 at The Coney, starting at 8pm. The topic for this month will be 'evaluating beer'. Many of us really enjoy our homebrew and other beer on a level that others don't quite get. But what does it take to judge a beer? How good are we at picking up subtle notes of ingredients and off flavors? If we smell or taste something - can we describe it accurately? At this meeting, let's talk about the process of evaluating beer - from appearance to aroma to taste. We can also discuss how beer judges score a beer within style guidelines, and perhaps we can think about some of our members submitting some beers to upcoming contests!
As usual, please bring some homebrew to share if you have any.
See you Tuesday. Enjoy the Labor Day weekend.
Update: 9/9/09 Great meeting last night - 16 people showed up, including three new folks. We got to try NINE homebrews and discuss beer evaluation. Hope to see you all next month!

July Meeting
Join us on Tuesday July 14 at The Coney, 8pm for our July homebrewing club meeting. We'll welcome a new member, Mike, who plans to share his first homebrewed beer. The Coney also now has Leffe Brune on tap, which is a nice Belgian dark ale. If you have some beer to share, please bring it.
As for a discussion topic, let's talk about packaging: bottling, kegging, counter pressure bottle fillers, corking, etc.
Hope to see you next Tuesday!
