District St. Louis Members Attend Home Brewing Seminar |
|
A home brewing seminar was held on December 5, 2009, at the Schlafly Tap Room for MBAA
District St. Louis members. The leadership would like to thank Dan Stauder and Augie Altenbaumer of the St. Louis Home Brewers Association for preparing the training materials and conducting the class. They not only gave us excellent brewing tips, but were also able to demonstrate the use of the home brewing equipment recently purchased by the District. The equipment is now available for our members to check out so they can make their own home brews. This will hopefully lead to some interesting beer competitions among District members in the future!
The next meeting for District St. Louis will be hosted by Anheuser-Busch and will be held at the Anheuser-Busch Corporate Theatre on Thursday, January 21, 2010.
—Steve Huffman
District Publicity Chair
