Guys,

Just a heads up that my buddy Mike has opened the only Homebrew/Winemaking supply store in Chester County this past Thursday, October 15th. Please stop by and buy some stuff! I am going to get all my homebrew supplies from Mike, and you should too.

Check out his site:

Artisan Homebrew

See you @ the Club Meet tonite!

Invites have been sent! October 17th, 2009!

Title: 6th Beer Club Meet and Greet
Description:

1. Bring 1 case of beer (24-12oz. Bottles or cans – min cost of $25 per case) in a cooler with ice subject to exclusion and previously shared lists. (See exclusion and previously shared lists)
2. You must like the beer you bring (and be willing to take home any unopened bottles/cans, if any remain.) Please do not use the club as a first time taste of the beer.
3. Beer can be any flavor, any strength, from any brewery, (providing #2 is true) subject to exclusion and previously shared lists. (See exclusion and previously shared lists)
4. Please label your cooler with its original contents. Note that by the end of the night, it will most likely become a variety of different beers.
5. You can drink from any cooler you like, including your own, BUT…Before you open a bottle/can from someone else’s cooler, you must replace it with an unopened bottle/can from your cooler. (Unless it’s your own, obviously!) This was not happening at the beginning of the last meet, so…
6. You can drink as fast or as slow as you like. (Slow is preferable. The more you drink at the meeting, the less you will be able to take home.)
7. At the end of the night, we will allow a final 1-for-1 exchange of unopened bottles/cans, and you can take home whatever is left in your cooler.
*8. Bring your favorite vessel (mug, stein, pint, yard, mason jar, etc.)

The host typically will be providing burgers and dogs.

Guests (Limit of 2 adults per case of beer) are requested to please bring a snack food, a salad or a desert to share. Please let us know by commenting on this post.

Driving: Please do not drive drunk. If you “taste” too much and need to sleep it off, the host always has a place for you to lie down, no problem.
Start Time: 17:30
Date: 2009-10-17
Location: 207 Mill Pond Drive, Exton, PA

Yes. Clarie, Ryan, Marissa and I are headed to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver from Sept. 24-26th! We have the festival tickets, and our hotel booked. Just working out the plane tix and we’re all set! Yes!

Had a couple of email conversations with Matt, the owner of Capone’s, and he’s ok’d it for me to post the weekly email updates listing the beers currently on tap and new beers in the store here on the site! Sweet! If you’d like to get the weekly email, send him a note here: MCapone610@aol.com

and tell him you’d like to be added to the weekly email update list.
Or, you could just come look at the page here on the site!

Targeting July 18th as the 5th semi-annual Beer Club Meeting.

Currently, Ryan & Claire have offerred up their place, but they are in the midst of house-hunting, so their ability to host may be impaired at that time. If that’s the case, Marissa and I will host in their stead.

Stay tuned for details and invites coming very soon!

Great times and great beer were had by all last night during our 4th meet. Without a doubt, this club is growing by leaps and bounds. I’m going to remove the “annual” moniker because it appears that this year will be the year we have more than 1 meeting! Yay! I’d love to see comments from anyone that attended. Thanks.

I know I’m a little late with this post, but I wanted to make sure I posted something about this great event.

I was only able to make it out to 2 events (so far) but enjoyed them both.

First, Marissa & I checked out Teresa’s Next Door for the intro of Duvel Green. Great bar.. we will be back. They have an 11 page beer book! Sweet! Not so keen on the Green. I prefer regular Duvel.

Josh and I made it out to Local 44 this past Sunday as they were host of a history making event… they had 7 Russian River beers on tap all at once (for about 45 minutes at least, before the 1st beer kicked)! Let the record show that we were first to the bar, first in the bar, and served first! Heh! It was a fun time. It got super crowded by the time we left, and the best of the beers were gone. Pliny the Younger has a well deserved reputation, as do all the other Russian River beers. Hopefully, their beers will become easier to get in the coming months.

Out for now.

Cya on Saturday!
