At approximately 7:59pm we commenced with a tasting of the "Big Brew" beers. Tom, Keith, and Paul still had samples left and I (Dave Balistrieri) did not have any left. Brewers specifics were discussed and in my humble opinion the most organized tasting occured... CONGRATS!!! I felt there was a noticeable improvement in the attention that was paid to the people speaking and the tasting went very smoothly...
I will not be at the next meeting so Kenny Schrader will be taking the minutes at the next meeting.... It was great to see all of you there and I look forward to seeing all of you again in March...

Take care one and all, respectfully submitted: Dave Balistrieri
