With the release of Boulevard's Chocolate Ale today, our President, Steve Cook has cooked up a plan to honor an local airman, Ryan, who is on his way back from Afghanistan in the coming days. Ryan asked his wife for one thing for Valentine's Day: a single bottle of Chocolate Ale. (In case you aren't from here - it's pure craziness to find just one bottle.)
In response, the Kansas City Bier Meisters are out scouring the city to try and get this man a full case of Chocolate Ale. Steve has bought him and his wife tickets to our Spiegelau tasting and our beer pairing banquet. We will have a special reception for him at our banquet.
We are also holding a virtual food drive for the area's only food bank, Harvester's. We have set it up as a state rivarly - Missouri vs Kansas. If you want more info about that, visit
http://mashingformeals.harvesters.orgI just wanted to take the time to brag on my homebrew club. I am so proud to be a part of a group that not only brews great beer, but can pull together in a moments notice to do literally anything, especially something as cool as this. It is simply amazing what the homebrew community can do.
If you want to help donate to the charity side of our competition, either contact me directly via PM or post back here.
Cheers guys.
