Location of May Meeting

Big news this go-round:

photo of the flood at Nepenthe/Meadow MillAs many of you know, Nepenthe was operationally destroyed by floods on the Jones Falls the first week in May. Graciously, Baltibrew, Lady Brew, and Brewtherville Labs put aside their Big Brew plans to aid in cleaning up the store, which remains closed, and in a state of repair.

As such, we'll be meeting at Blue Pit BBQ (1601 Union Ave.) at 8 p.m. this Thursday (5/15) instead of our usual spot. Blue Pit is across the street from Artifact Coffee, and a stone's throw from Nepenthe.

One key thing to note about this meeting — NO HOMEBREW this go-round, please. Let's support Blue Pit for supporting us, and for supporting Nepenthe. We'll get back to sharing our own once we're back at our normal location.

On the agenda:

  • Proposal to roll our Big Brew brewers into a July brew with Killer Ales (creation of subcommittee to support July brew)
  • Details on various fundraising events to aid Nepenthe's recovery
  • Guild notes from Steve Hulbert
  • Guild Summer Picnic, and wheat beer competition details (We've won this a couple years in a row, it'd be nice to continue doing so)
  • Ed Topic: Open Q&A session led by Greg Apker and Jonathan Gibbs
  • Eating Blue Pit's excellent Reuben sandwich
