Hold the Presses, We will have a Beer Social Tomorrow, 12/3!

With the cancellation of the Brewday at Bill Lawrence’s house, Matt Parulis’s has offered to have a beer social at his house. A beer social is like a brewday with no brewing, just sharing and evaluation of beers (or what ever you want to bring).

Since there is no brewing at the Social, it will start at Noon. Lunch will be provided by the club. Bring your homebrew, judges will be available for evaluations. Special commercial beers are also welcome. Homebrew experts will be available to discuss your brewing questions.

Bring a chair! You don’t want to stand all day.

Matt’s address is 1805 Redbud Circle in Carrollton. Noon to 4pm.
