P.A.L.S.

We had no meeting, so I have no minutes. Why, then, am I writing? Just wanted to recap since our last get-together. Our 3rd annual round robin went quite well. All were present and, as far as I could tell, had a great time. Food, conversation and company were all great. Reducing the number of stops seemed to go smoothly, but we lingered too long at the beginning. We still need work on pacing ourselves, time-wise that is. We don’t have any problems with the drinking or eating. Beer was abundant and there were plenty of sausages to go around, but watch out for the "VEENAAR"! It may pop out and surprise you!

Time to move on to a new year. In 2002 we will celebrate our 5-year anniversary. Keep your thinking caps on for a special celebration!

Next meeting –  Sunday, January 27, 2002
              Time – 1:00pm
HOST – MARIANA
NOTE: We will have an East Coast theme to club. We will be sampling beer from New Hampshire, compliments of my sister Joan.

Be there or be square.

STALE ALE ALERT: "For years rumors have circulated in North America that bock was ‘made from the dregs of the tanks’, in breweries ‘when they were cleaned every spring.’ Brewers keep their kettles and kegs spotless; they clean them after every batch of beer lest they become contaminated with bacteria. There are no such things as dregs of tanks. Real bock is a high-quality beer that is the apex of a brewer’s art."       From The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Beer.

Respectfully submitted,
Mariana
