Stern Grove

It rained.

Harry made awesome chili under terrible conditions. Bruce brought three different kinds of salsa, I brought potato and pasta salad. There was a lot of food that I don't know where it came from. There were some good beers poured (Harry and Roger brought kegs).

There was a keg of peanut butter stout on draft in the bar that was pretty bad. This year's Celebration Ale was on draft, and is great. The Anchor Foghorn disappeared within minutes of being made available. I didn't get any.

I won a third place in Strong Ales with my Belgian Tripel (which some lucky members tasted at the Belgian meeting and others will taste at the xmas party). I was the only winner in the club! I don't know which club won the Homebrew Club of the Year award. Probably wasn't us.

It rained.

A pretty good time was had by most.
