A chance to hang out with some old friends and support a good cause! The Lindsay Museum is teaming up with Ale Industries (and Lagunitas) to host a beer dinner on Friday, Aug 13 @ 6pm. Tickets are $85 and are available for purchase on the Museum Website Proceeds will go to fund educational and wildlife programs. Morgan & James Koskiniemi — former MoreBeer employee and caterer for our holiday party out in Pittsburg if I remember right — will be presenting a 5 course pairing menu:

Awesome work guys!

We’ll be talking about and tasting sour beers.

For the history-minded among us: In the BBC’s Christina: A Medieval Life there is a brief discussion of brewing and ale distribution in Medieval England. “Christina: A Medieval Life” Follow the link, hit Play, and head to minute 23.

Just a quick reminder that due to Memorial Day on the 31st, our May meeting is a week earlier than usual. See you all there.

The next-to-last Monday, thanks to Memorial Day @ Lindsay Museum, as usual
