Tasting – thanks Lee – Wheat beers
Beer #1: hints of clove, esthers/phenol
Beer #2: grassy, more bitter in the nose than the first, drier, hoppier than the first
Beer #3: reminded people of a Belgian, balanced flavor

Beer #1: 312 Goose Island
Beer #2: Boulevard Wheat
Beer #3: Sierra Nevada Hefeweisen

New people
Devon – has been making mead 2 years, but it takes a long time (beer is faster)
Tom and Dave – from Perry, here to buy Jason’s cooker. Been hearing about the guild for a while
Rich – has brewed for a while, but brewing equipment is in Albuquerque. Just drinking now.

Clean up crew: Matt, Rich, Dave – thank you.

Treasurer’s report – Clint is out of town, reported by Lisa
We currently have 120 members, and about $4670 in the bank.

Librarian’s report - Devon
New book – something about beer and gardening. Check with Devon for more titles.

Quartermaster - Andy
Need to replace the 3-tap towers, they get so much use, they hardly stay in storage, and need updating.
Proposal: get rid of the wooden towers and replace them with cooler jockey boxes.
Jeff – Andy and I should suggest a budget ($300) and spec out fittings and hosing
Rich – second Jeff’s motion to get rid of the wooden towers and go with the coolers. Vote: passed – within limits of the proposed budget, with the suggestion that the board approve any spending beyond that.
Suggestion to get this done (as proposed) in time for Brewfest.

Old Business
Muggs for Juggs – June 25th. See the forum for beer donations and details.

Brewfest Committees
Brick has volunteered to head the food committee
Beer committee – Andy and Jason will organize (in spite of some absence), plus get a committee put together
Logistics – Tucker, Lisa (Jeff and Ellen have notes and information)
Music – Joe, 2 bands booked, things are looking good.
Brick – if anyone has a BBQ team that’s interested, talk to me this week.
Ellen: executive decision: no Friday bands.
Food: Saturday breakfast? VIP tickets? Extra cost? Brick will talk to the committee and come up with a proposal

New business
Jay – Hall of Foamers in Topeka – bad beer clinic, this Saturday. Learn about 8 defects in beers, $15 a person. Talk to him - 9am at the Blind Tiger, this Saturday

Jason’s proposal for Brewfest beer flights, a matrix with clear tags to label, and using statistics from the last 2 Brewfests, a way to make sure that the mix is good, and that all the different donated beers get served. Seems like a brilliant plan.
