Report from the VP of Social Events:

December newsletter! Yikes!

Ugh, the year is almost over... not sure how that happened, yet here we are. Onwards!

A HUGE thank you to each and everyone who came out to our PSB Open #10. Brewers, judges, stewards, curmudgeons, BBQ gods... I could go on. The event was well attended, a blast and I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Events!

There really is only one big event on the near horizon. That would be the World Beer Festival Columbia bash on January 24th. Info for this is popping up all over the place, check our forum or meetings for details. We need Brew Crew members! See the posts in the Event forum or contact me (Dan Adams) if you want to help run the festival on Saturday. THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE!

If you haven't been to one of these, get yourself down to Atlanta and hold on to your hat! Check out the pictures here from our last meetup if you're not convinced:

As usual, check the forum for updates, last minute events and shenanigans. We have some great stuff coming up in 2009, once we recover from the World Beer Fest! If you have an event you'd like to do, contact me and we'll see if we can make it happen. It was great serving the club this past year and I'm looking forward to doing it all over again!

Drink up! Merry Christmas!
