Roar off the Shore is March 25. We are signed up. Another extremely popular fest. We already have a full slate of brewers and pourers lined up.
The annual wine competition was last weekend at Duck Creek Winery. 30+ enteries.

New business:
Next meeting, April 1st Noble Roots
We are looking for a brewer for March Brew. If interested give a shout to one of us and we can get the word out. Was a request to have Brew days going back to other locations to see more techniques.
Tom says he is getting some shirts and hoodies made up. More info and pricing will be available soon.
Interest shown to also have business cards made.
In the on going TTO saga, nothing has been pushed along. But there is at least still interest in a colab with the Manty Malters.
Much discussion about getting back to small, “style of the month” type meeting contests to ease people back into competitions
Never got a final word on an April Pale ale comp before we we quickly adjourned, so keep an eye on the emails and Facebook.
