I've struck a notice up in the hop and grape, john said he will come along if he can..

[alix101]

Thanks everyone for coming for a first meeting I would say it was a success . Great company and plenty of beer crack, I look forward to future meetings with continued growth..cheers to the YI craft brewers

[gherkin]

Glad it went well - sorry I could be there this time - will get my act together for the next meet

[gherkin]

*couldn't

[alix101]

After the first meeting I think the general consensus was that the next meeting should be a hands on one possibly brewing with yeast experimentation.All suggestions are welcome and any thoughts on where to hold the next meet are welcome.
cheers

Ken was kind enough to sugest going to his for a group brew. That may be posible.
I think the Cricket Club was a great meeting place, nice choice there Steven. And the Landlord was keen having brewers in.

I was considering the same venue with a bit more beer related stuff..swaps tasting etc.just to get the ball rolling again.

Hi Stephen
That sounds like a plan. Im sure swaps would be posible, but Is the venue gonna be ok with us bringing in ale to taste.
Not sure how that work's with licencing. But Im good with it.

The only potential problem with going the night before is that it's a Thursday, so work the next day for many.

Why not just go on the first night of the beer festival (i.e. the Friday)?

[alix101]

Friday, is fine for me
