NOVEMBER MEETING CHANGE OF VENUE

Due to a scheduling conflict with our friends at Dogfish Head in Rehoboth Beach, the November meeting has been moved to John & Linda Novosel's Shipwreck Brewing in Lewes. The date remains the same - Thursday, November 8th. Arrive anytime after 6pm.

We'll have burgers and hot dogs. If you would like to bring a dish to share, it would be appreciated but it is by no means required. If you need directions or more information, drop me a note (or post a follow-up here) and I'll get you the information you need.

Sorry for the late notice, and the late update....but Punkin' Chunkin' sucked up a lot of my time recently. Now it's done and I'm exhausted....and ready to start building next year's monstrosity!

Hope to see everyone on Thursday (Yes, THIS Thursday)!

Peace-OUT!

OCTOBER MEETING - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11TH

This will be quick since I have stuff to do, I don't feel well and therefore my 'skills' are compromised. The October meeting will be held Thursday October 11th at 7pm. We'll be meeting back at Dogfish Head in Rehoboth Beach. It's pizza night, so come in for dinner and hang out for the meeting/tasting.
Hope to see everyone there!

Peace-OUT!

*Ok Mike, you can now shred me with your commentary.....

SEPTEMBER MEETING

The September meeting will be held on Thursday, September 13th at Anne Marie & Mike Townshend's house in Dover. Events will start after 6pm. Feel free to bring a dish to share, or a sample of your latest liquid creation....but neither is required to attend.....just a good attitude and a spirit of friendship...and if you can't muster that? Show up and keep your mouth shut!

With luck on our side, we'll start having our monthly meetings back at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in beautiful, parking meter-free Rehoboth Beach by October 11th (the next club meeting).

I need to update the club email list, since I've finally upgraded my computer. I think the best way to purge the club list of all the dead-ends is to force folks who still want to be on the list to send me their email addresses. I know who the 'hard-core' members are....but I've got loads of names of people who get on the list, but never get involved. Very soon, I'll be sending out a message to folks on the list. If I don't get a response, I'll purge your address from the list. If you want to continue to get my meandering drivel....just send me a reply....nothing difficult....just say something like "keep me on the list" or "count me in" or "Dead Terry is an IDIOT!". Whatever works for you.

'Nuff Sed!

Peas OUT!!

P.S. Detroit Lions = 1-0....Purrrfect! Super Bowl Bound BABY!

John will have burgers and hot dogs/chili-dogs cooking on the grill. Feel free to bring something to share, but it is not required.

If you need directions, post a response here and I'll email you directions or John's telephone number. Hope to see everyone there!

Peas,

July Meeting

I guess Terry gave up on posting the meeting announcements. However, I look at it this way... Since I started using this blog again we have doubled our readership.

The meeting is tonight, July 12 is at Doug and Patty's, home of the Delmarva Brewing Craft in Millsboro.

Bring beer, bring food, or just bring yourself.

--Mike

Hi Terry

Looks like you were getting lonely. I had forgotten how to get into this damn thing so I had to get the blogger folk to send me login information.

Since this is a beer thing I guess I should mention something about that wonderful stuff...

Things I have tried lately...
Brooklyn Local 1 - Pretty good but I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Aventinus (2002) - Now this stuff was amazing, very rich. Could be one of my new favorites.

Russian River Damnation - Had this at Monk's last Friday, good, hoppier then I was expecting.

St. Benardus 12 - also at monks. First time I have had this on tap.

That's all for now. See you all on Thursday at Doug's

MAY MEETING

The May meeting will take place on Thursday, May 10th starting around 7pm. We'll meet upstairs at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth.

The summer schedule has been set and looks like this:

That's it for now. Apologies for not updating this sooner/more often....been busy!

Peace-OUT!~

APRIL MEETING

There was a meeting in April. It was fun and we had a lot of beer. Jim Boyd, the manager at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, got a whole bunch of stuff from Hop Union to give away to everyone at the meeting. Thanks again Jim! That was April.......

MARCH MEETING

The March meeting will be this Thursday, March 8th. Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats will be site of our get together. It's pizza nite, so come on in early and have some dinner, then head upstairs around 7pm for the gathering.

Just wanted to post this early for ANYONE who might look over here. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, February 8, 2007. We'll meet at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, starting around 7pm.

P.S. BLOG-SPAMMERS SUCK!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!! and now The January Meeting Info...

First off, Hoppy New Year to everyone. With the start of 2007, we start our monthly meeting schedule back at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth. The January meeting will be held Thursday, January 11th @ Dogfish Head in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
We'll get things rolling upstairs around 7pm, but get there early and have some $5 pizzas and a pint (or 2....). Items on the agenda for the evening include sharing each other's company as well as some folks latest brews/concoctions... Don't worry if you don't have anything to share, just come and pass judgement on your fellow brewers.... Just remember the rule of come-uppance!

NEXT!

Mark your calendars for SATURDAY, JANAURY 13th..... It's time for the 2,007th Annual Delmarva United Homebrewers Chili Cook-off. Yup, we've been doing this forever! Here's how it works....
The Place: Shipwreck Brewing Company in outer Lewes, Delaware
The Time: fun starts at 5:30pm, tasting/judging starts at 7pm....SHARP!
WTF?: This is the 4th year that John & Linda Novosel have hosted this prestigious and bizarre event (although according to my records, the event itself has been going on for over 2000 years). Bring your best chili to be judged by a blind (drunk) tasting panel consisting of everyone present. The winner will be presented the coveted "Piggy Award", which resembles the Oscar statuette....only in pig form....but not made of pork products, like the Oscar.....sorry was thinking of Oscar Meyer. Everyone is welcome to this stellar event, no entry is required. John will have plenty of brew/wine. If you want to bring a dish to pass (other than chili) feel free, bring whatever you want or just bring yourself & guest(s).
Information: For more information, drop me a line or post a note to this babbling mess of words and I'll get back to you.

Hope to see everyone at the January meeting, and for my friends in China may I say " Where am I supposed to send the beer? "

Peace - Out!

.....AND WE'RE BACK!

Well, we survived the summer months here on the Delmarva peninsula somewhat intact. We had some great get-togethers throughout the summer......saw some folks that only get a chance to pop in every once-in-a-while, as well as some new faces who are just discovering the joys of homebrewing/wine-making/mead-ing (?). In short, summer was great! NOW, it's time to get down to business.
OCTOBER 12th.....We'll be meeting back at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats @7pm. Pizza nite is in full swing, so come and eat and have a drink before the meeting starts. We've got plenty of items to discuss, as well as beer/wine/mead/???? to taste. Some folks have expressed an interest in getting some written feedback on their beers (etc.), so we'll try to set-up some kind of organized tasting at each meeting with simple scoring sheets for members to score the beers (etc.) that are shared at the meeting. I'll bring the scoring sheets. All I ask is......if you have a beer (etc.) that you want members to taste and give written reviews on, try to notify before the meeting (via email) so I know how much sheet to bring that night, or get to the meeting an hour before it starts (when I usually arrive) and let me know you want to use scoring sheets. I hope this will avoid the chaos that sometimes (usually) occurs when we start pouring. We'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
MORE IMPORTANT STUFF......We're working on a competiton in conjunction with the First State Brewers. I will be looking for feedback and ideas from members for me to pass along to the folks upstate, plus we can discuss our own club-only competition.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW! No TV and No Beer make Homer go crazy.........

PEACE-OUT!
Dead Terry
