Join MASH for a lively discussion on beer blending. Feel free to bring samples of beers that would be fun to blend and share. Additionally we will be voting on the English Porter Brewer’s Duel and sharing a recap of our club trip to Vermont. Maybe some generous club members will bring beer spoils from our bus tour for sharing. Join us at Twin Elephant to hear about these exciting topics and more.

Don’t forget that MASH members are welcome to drop off beer to be anonymously evaluated by one of ou r 19 BJCP judges. Simply register at onlinebeerscores.com and bring your numbered bottle.
As always, meetings are open to all but please note this does not mean Twin Elephant is open to all. Attendees should be there to attend a MASH meeting not simply for Twin Elephant beer. Bring homebrew to share and a sample glass to help cut down on cups waste.
