I have about 5 ounces of vacuum packed home grown Cascade I would trade for home grown or even store bought Perle or Nugget. If anyone is interested let me know.

There are some fun events coming up in the next few weeks. First of the Fair is coming on August 9th. Anyone interested can enter home brews for a fun competition. Wine and mead are also accepted. There are gift certificates for the winners. There is also the possibility of doing a home brewing demo to show people what it is all about. I will be gone all of that week, and cannot participate. If there is anyone interested please let me know. It will be a lot of fun, and the club will be able to drink the beer at the October meeting. Also, we have all the equipment you'll need to do it, and the club will pay for ingredients. We will get some more detials about entering homebrews in the competition. Also, August 16th is the next Zoo City Zymurgist summer party. There will be two kegs of homebrew, and most likely some food. Don't forget to mark the calendars. Be sure to bring some homebrews for some feedback and to show off your great homebrewing skills. There will also be more info on the particulars in the next couple weeks. August is certainly a great month for beer and groups of fun people. So see everyone soon and stay cool.

I want to make sure that everyone knows the details about the fair and entering beer, wine, and/or liqueurs for some pretty big prizes! Here is a link to the fair website for more info and - new this year - on-line entry forms. www.WesternMontanaFair.com (the link my not work, but paste it into the URL address location. You can also pick up a fair "premium book" at many locations around town, First and most important - entering your beverage! Beverages are considered "perishable" but they can be entered at he same time as non-perishable or the beginning of the week of the fair. Non-perishables - that's canned jams, pickles, chutney, etc. - can be dropped off at the Culinary Bldg in the Fair Grounds on Monday (today!) 7/28 and Tuesday 7/29 from 8 am until 8 pm. Or you can drop off your beverages during the perishables (cakes, cookies, breads) time period on Sunday 8/3 and Monday 8/4 from 8 am until 8 pm. You can have someone else drop off your entries. Judging will take place on Tuesday 8/5, starting at 11 am. If you are not entering a beverage, we might be able to use you to judge the beers. Ten Spoons is judging the wines and liqueurs and Big Sky will be doing the beers. What to enter: You can enter one beverage (only one bottle needed) per category, as many categories as you like. For beer, there are only 4 general categories, light, amber, dark, and specialty. You need to list the style of beer you wish your beer to be judged against as well as the general category. Wines have more categories: white dinner, dry white, dry red, red dinner, white dessert, red dessert, liqueur, sparkling, and "any other" as well as cider, root beer and "fun drinks." Again, list a more descriptive style if possible. Prizes!!!!! ZCZ gives best of show awards ($25 gift certificates to Lolo Peak Winery) for best beer and best wine (including liqueurs, ciders, etc.). Lolo Peak also gives a $20 gift certificate for best of show wine (possibly different entry from ZCZ prize). Big Sky brewing gives 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention awards of $30, $20, $15, and $10 gift certificates for each of the four categories. The Fair gives ribbons, best of show rosettes and premiums of $3, $2, and $1 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. It is possible for the best of show beer entry to walk away with a big, pretty rosette ribbon, $3 in cash, $25 gift certificate to Lolo Peak and $30 gift cert to Big Sky! Not bad for one bottle of beer! Cashing in!!!! You can pick up your entry and prizes after 8:15 pm on Sunday, 8/10. Monday, 8/11 is the best from 11 am until 8 pm. Fair premiums can be cashed at the premium bank during the fair or at the fair office until 5pm on Friday, August 15. After 8/15, you forfeit your winnings. You have to have your claim check (entry form) to claim your premiums. As far as the demo brew goes - They would love us to do it, but whomever steps up will probably have to plan the entire thing. Most of us who have been involved (planning or executing) in the past won't be around this year. I understand it's fun (I've only been in the planning department) and this year, right before the chili cook-off on Saturday, so very appropriate. The Culinary co-superintendent I have been working with is Donna Stewart at 207-1272. If someone takes the lead on this, you will need to organize it with her. Lots to see at the fair, even the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, just still no horse racing. Activities start on Tuesday, 8/5 and run all day and evenings until Sunday, 8/10! Hope the club members - and others - have lots of entries this year! Good luck to one and all! Remember, the opportunity for bragging rights at the ZCZ summer party the very next weekend. Save some bottles to share. Pam Nathan Boot wrote: > > Alright Everyone. > > There are some fun events coming up in the next few weeks. First of > the Fair is coming on August 9th.

However, it is real easy to do. Basically, the club pays for the ingredients, and you brew an extract brew. It's more fun to have two people and take brews with you to drink since it is a Saturday morning and warm in the building. Just call me and I'll help whom ever wants to do it, plan it.

Tonight John Floridis will be playing from 6-8:30. Check his website out at www.johnfloridis.com. Saturday night Blue Melon will be here. Check out their current schedule at http://www.bluemelonband.com/Schedule.html. Both of these bands are awesome local favorites so come on down and support your local musicians! Our newest WHIM beer, the Summer Saison, is on tap. This beer is a Belgian/French summer ale. It is spicy, tart, and dry with a slight sour finish. It is simply delicious. Ask your bartender for a sample! Our other WHIMs still on tap are the Smoked Hefeweizen, Single Hop Ale (we have been on the last keg for a while and I don't expect it to last much past this afternoon!), and the Oatmeal Stout on nitro. IMPORTANT In other beer news: The Montana Department of Revenue is proposing an amendment to Montana's Tasting Room already restrictive laws. The Department of Revenue is proposing to hold Montana breweries to the same rules as all beverage licensees which allows no consumption of alcohol after closing time. This means that, like bars, breweries around the state would have to have all drinks off the bar and all customers physically out of the building by closing time. However, unlike bars who must close by 2am, our closing time would remain at 8pm. The Department of Revenue is having a public hearing regarding the proposed amendment next Thursday, August 7th in Helena. This amendment would obviously be a huge detriment to tasting rooms around Montana so the majority of active brewers and brewery personnel are all traveling to Helena next week to oppose this amendment. Glacier Brewing has created an online petition that we are planning on presenting at the hearing. Here is the link for that petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/MTTROP/petition.html. Check it out and please sign it and pass this information on if you are concerned about this issue. Here is a link to a Great Falls Tribune Story about the issue http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008807260304. Thanks to everyone for all your support and for being such great customers! See you soon!
