New Decade
I would like to wish a Happy New Year to all members and their families. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays season. As we enter the new decade, we go in with the bar set high. Back-to-back Brewers of the Year and back-to-back Club of the Year. But looking back at past leadership and member accomplishmments, this does not surprise me. Past presidents have taken this club to new heights and have not left many new areas to conquer. Member accomplishments have shown us how strong this club become in a relatively short period of time. Over the next two years, I hpoe to take this club down a new path and focus on our foundations of sound brewing techniques and beer appreciation. I feel a club of our size and caliber needs a few more BJCP certified judges and more participation in local contests. The BJCP exam and study guide provide an invaluable resource to better your brewing techniques and hone your beer appreciation skills.

I look forward to the task of leading this club into a new decade.



Cheers,

Jeff
