Any more thoughts on a name? I think Annapolis Brewers, Connoisseurs, and Drinkers (A.B.C.D.) has had the most positive response but only a few folks have chimed in. Any new ideas for a name? I'm thinking we will have a vote off at the meeting.
How about the Annapolis sAlers?
I know that poorboy is actually in the PR business. He'd probably be good at running the fb page.
I'll take notes. I was a yeoman in my past life in the navy.
I'll also probably bring something for people to snack on. Likely whatever I grab last minute on my way over.
I like ABCD. Simple and fun. I have a whole mess of books. I'll bring a list tomorrow.

We did this a lot in the Guam Homebrew Club. I definitely recommend it and its a great reason to be a part of a club.
Also, Annapolis Home Brew Shop stated that they would like to help sponsor the club so I asked about card carrying members being able to get discounts at the store as a membership benefit. They didn't say yes but said they were interested in the idea and were currently working on some incentive discount programs to implement in the near future. One of the clubs I was in was able to get a 10% discount for members at all local home brew shops so its worth asking all the area shops if they would do something like this.
If not, it can't hurt to inquire at MD Home Brew in Columbia. But I think if you explained to the Annapolis guys that the increased amount of $ spent overall mitigates any 10% discount
SuperSpy,
What's the current head count for tomorrow...just contemplating how much homebrew to bring for sampling.
Also, I'll pick up som munchies on the way over
Not to be different, but do we have to be a cutesy name of initials??? All those names are just silly... We can be more creative than that...
Superspy, if for some reason storing beer in my office fridge is frowned upon, do you think I could drop them off at your place sometime before the meeting officially begins so that we can get them chilled?
Any chance someone could print off a few copies of the BJCP style guidelines for saison? I meant to do it at work but completely forgot. Here is the link:

well, YN, where are the notes?

I'm good with Deal/NorthbeachIt was good to meet everyone. I had a good time. It was nice try other people's brews too. If no one is averse to driving down this way for the next meeting I can make some inquiries in to some local establishments. I'm down in the Deale/North Beach area.
