May BREW Meeting on Wednesday the 26th

Some of the things you can look forward to at our BREW meeting in a week:

Mark and I should have a hefe or two to share, and we can share stories about making dandelion wine. Plus, we're going to the Brew Festival in Brattleboro this weekend so we'll have a full report of that event as well.

"Beer Wars" is finally getting distributed and should be available for purchase, rental, via On Demand (cable) or Netflix on this Monday, 2/1. For more info: http://beerwarsmovie.com/

It reminds me of two other recent and favorite videos. Most notably is "I Am a Craft Brewer," an inspiring manifesto collectively expressed by many notable brewers (including Vinnie Cilurzo, Sam Calagione, Greg Koch, Rob Tod and others). Definitely a must-see:
