Hello Barons-
Today the board voted on the cancellation of our March general meeting. Although we had a great meeting planned we should be doing what is in the best interest of our club members. As of now we will resume activities in April.
The board wishes each and every one of you good health and happiness and we will see you in April.

Hey Barons, this holiday season we are introducing a home-made beverage exchange! It’s called the 12 Beers of Christmas, and here is how it works:
Participants will have a designated area where they exchange their beers. If you want to participate, you’ll need to sign up below!
Please join us for our October meeting where we will be sampling some club team barrel projects. There will be some good wheat wines, reds, and other good barrel aged brews on the jockey boxes for sampling.
To accompany our barrel aging project we will welcome Kyle from 1840 Brewing. If you are not familiar with 1840 Brewing, they are the best of the best when it comes to barrel aging. Whether it is porters, stouts or sours and they do it and do it well! They will be discussing their process and providing input on how they do things.

Coming to the Barons all the way from Portland Oregon is Imperial Yeast. Founded in 2014 Imperial carries the slogan “Be good to people, be good to wort.” No doubt that Imperial will be good to our club.
Earlier this year we had another yeast company come in and the feedback was great. This should be another great meeting. Be There or Be Square!

Our annual picnic will be on Saturday, September 7th at Picnic Area 3 on the Root River Parkway (see map below) rain or shine. We kick off about noon with food provided (burgers, brats, chicken breast, salads) along with all our drafts lines pouring homemade beers, meads, and ciders. We encourage you to bring a dish to share, chairs, pop-up tents, towels, yard games or any other summer-outdoor-type-of-thing.
Bring your best beer, mead, or cider for a chance to win our ‘best beverage’ get your name etched on the Jerry Hetzel Memorial Mash Paddle. There is also a ‘food-made-with-beer’ competition for any edible you bring that includes beer/mead/cider as a recipe component. Both competitions are popular-vote style, voted on by our guests.
We will be holding our annual picnic pay-to-play giveaway again this year. We will have a lot of great things in the pay-to-play giveaway and will update this post with more details as they become available!

The August meeting is for all of the lovers of history. Joshua is a Sociology PHD candidate @ UW-Milwaukee. His research is focused on how alcohol, especially beer, was used as a political feasting resource in prehistoric Europe (early Iron Age west-central European 800-400BC specifically). Joshua is particularly interested in the shelf-life of prehistoric beer: Longer shelf-life -> more beer -> bigger feasts -> more political power. (Insert Tim Allen grunt for “more power.”)
Joshua was kind enough to provide a few links of prehistoric recipes; see below:
For those not familiar with the club, the next general meeting is on August 28th @ Cliffords Supper Club in Hales Corners. We start @ 7:30 p.m. and be sure to bring tasting glasses!
