Motor City Mashers April Meeting Survey

First off, did you know that April 7th is National Beer Day? Learn more about this ‘unofficial’ holiday from Wikipedia.

Now, normally our meetings are on the first Friday of every month, but in April, that day falls on what is a ‘spring break’ week for many families. A lot of families take this week and go on vacation (including mine.) Because of this, I wanted to get a handle on when you would like to have our meeting: on Friday, April 1st or Friday, April 8th. Please take a look at this QUICK survey and let us know when you would like to have the meeting by Monday, March 28th at 6PM ET:

Also, a couple of other items…
As some of you might have seen on Facebook, there has been a change in when our beers will be tapped at the Arbor Brewing Company Microbrewery (Corner Brewery) in Ypsilanti. Instead of tapping them one at at time throughout the spring/summer, ALL FOUR OF THEM will be tapped on Thursday, April 21st. We aren’t 100% sure, but based on previous years, we think it will start around 6PM. A Facebook event will be added to our calendar, but make sure you mark your calendars for this! Let’s have a big turnout for this!

Also, thank you to the couple of you that has given feedback on our by-laws. You can still give yours by taking a look at the couple of EXAMPLES we have: SAMPLE1 and SAMPLE2. None of these are set in stone, so please give us your thoughts, ideas, changes and what you liked!

Just another reminder that the Big Brew is Saturday, May 7th. (We’ll be at Adventures in Homebrewing in Taylor for this, with more details and signup coming out shortly.) Also, if you want to get a head start on this, Rochester Mills is having their Big Brew the Saturday before (April 30th). Spots are limited, but they are going to supply ‘some’ ingredients for you. Sign up by going here: http://www.beercos.com/save-the-date-for-the-mills-big-brew-april-30th-2016/

On June 6th, we’ve been invited to join the Sons of Liberty Homebrew Club at their annual meeting at the Ann Arbor Pinball Museum. Details can be found on our Facebook page HERE.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE SURVEY ABOUT OUR APRIL MEETING! Expect a meeting announcement on Monday evening. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email.

Cheers!
