[MKOB] June Meeting 6-21, YES Beer event, Link to Kegerators

[J Cooper]

Just a reminder, the Meeting will be next Thursday the 21st at Abita ( I hope I've not been by yet, will try today).
Also I will be leaving town tomorrow and not returning until the 19th, going on a search for better beer in Las Vegas, I'll be staying at a hotel with brewery on site so might not make it very far.
But I have found out there are enough places to keep me out of the Casinos. Will try to give a short report on that when I get to the meeting.
If for some reason I don't make it back (like I just can't leave without drinking all the beers in town) Casey will carry on for me.

WE will be having the competion this month, I believe it is APA, IPA, ESB. We do have enough score sheets thanks to Willis Brewer for copying them.
The judging will be just on points, no comments. Seperate tables to judge, best at their table and final judging of best from each table. For winner.
IF we don't have a sack of grain for the winner, that night one will be ordered when Calvin places the next order thru Abita Brewing.
That should be all we do this month, we can discuss other things as we go along, and please everyone help out when you get there by either signing in your beer, or just helping to get things going.
I know some people volunteered last month, I don't have one to bring so I will be helping to get things moving also.

I'm including a couple emails I've received, please just post your thoughts on these as to how it could be improved(WYES) and is it a good site(Kegerators). I will pass the best stuff on to them or get it added to our links on the website.

Thanks
Jim C.

We are wrapping up the Beer Event and would like to know if you have any
suggestions for making next year's event even better.  We are considering
having two seating's or exploring other venue options.

If you have ideas on other ways to improve the Beer Tasting please email me.

>From Micro Matic:
Hello Mystik Krewe – greetings from Micro Matic USA!

 

If you’re not familiar with Micro Matic, we’re the world’s largest manufacturer of draft beer supplies (kegerators, conversion kits, keg taps, and all of that good stuff). Of course, we’re also huge beer enthusiasts, so we have also put together a large variety of ‘Beer Education’ resources independent of our commercial site: beer articles, frequently asked questions, a regularly-updated beer news blog, and a busy message board.

 

In my search to categorize and develop relationships with homebrewing clubs across the continent, I came across the MKoB website. You’ve got a great site going, looks like a top notch club! We’re hoping you might be interested in putting up a link to Micro Matic’s ‘Beer Education’ section on your website, since many homebrewers would probably enjoy some info on dispensing homebrewed draft beer at home (as well as other beer-related resources).

 

Our link is: http://www.MicroMatic.com/  -  Kegerator and Draft Beer Dispensing Resources. 

 

If you’d like to link directly to a specific section of the site (the ‘Anatomy Of A Kegerator’ video is a very popular one!), please feel free to do so. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon! 

 

Thanks,

PS. If you have a newsletter, I would also be happy to write a short piece for publication on kegging at home or home kegerators. I have done this for some other clubs, and it seems to be mutually beneficial!
