Sudzers November 2021 meeting notes

Hello, Sudzers! In our final meeting of the year we met several new members, tasted our future club brew, and tasted eleven extremely diverse brews. Thanks to everyone who showed up!

Business:
– We welcomed several new members: Tammi, Andi, and Kevin. Welcome to the club!
– Several officers will be stepping down from their positions in 2022: Robert as President, Cliff as Competition Guru, and Adam as Communications Officer. We will send out more info about this, but in the meantime, you can let us know if you’re interested in any of these positions.
– Our next club brew will be Robert R.’s Biere de Noel. This is a perfect beer for warming yourself up on a cold night and should age well. More info about the club brew day will be sent out.
– We discussed ideas for this year’s Christmas party. As with the other topics, we’ll send out more information in the near future, but please let us know if you have any ideas for a venue.
