We still have 3 spots left on the February brew crew set for Valentines Day. The brew crew is open to any up to date, paid in full Maltose Falcons member. Membership will be verfied prior to be selected for a spot on the crew.

The style for this month is "My Bloody Valentine" red ale led by Scott Wyse. It is based on Alesmith's Evil Dead Red ale. This should be a good one.

Since QUAFF doesn't post the entry instructions until you actually register an entry, I thought I'd post them here for convenience, and to encourage Falcons to enter their beers. Event Dates are for the judging - entried aredue at Alesmith on Wednesday, February 10.     Fletch

 IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Because of a stupid little football game, the February meeting will be on Saturday February 6, but the Annual Chili Cook-off will go ahead as scheduled.  Please post here or e-mail theburgermeister [at] maltosefalcons [dot] com ( Burgermeister) of your intention to enter a chili.  Please plan to arrive about noon to start heating the chilis.  

The February shop brew is set for Sunday the 14th, Valentines Day. The brew crew will be led by Scott Wyse. He is set to brew up a batch of "My Bloody Valentine" red ale. Very appropriate for Valentines Day don't you think!

German Beer Tasting

 On New Year's Eve I got the chance to share a 5 year old bottle of Victory Brewing's V-Twelve. The inspiration for this beer is a Belgian Dark Ale/Quad. The beer comes in a corked 750ml, and has a bottled date, with a recommendation of consuming within 5 years.
