Hi again, Mashers! Jason the Web Guy here.

This is just a reminder of our meeting this Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 7PM. We'll meet up ath the Adventures shop in the back.

In recognition of the day where we're all Irish, St. Patrick's Day, we're covering a few different styles of beer. We'll cover Irish Reds and Stouts - two traditional Irish favorites!

No, we will not be covering "green beer". I don't think that's a BJCP reognized style.

I will be the one covering the style guidelines and discussing with you what to expect when you drink some of these fine beers.
