We will be sending MASH beers to them and we will receive WHALES beers for simultaneous club tastings. Our goal is to taste the beers and provide feedback to the brewers. Once both clubs have had the opportunity to taste the beers, we will hold a live Zoom call to discuss our findings and then hear from each brewer. By-passing regular monthly Sensory Analysis for the month of May. This month we will be changing things up. There will be an intimate MASH Gathering for a tasting of various Meads. Once a date is determined, an announcement will be made for sign-ups. Due to the limited capacity nature of this event, we plan to have others so additional MASH members can participate. We apologize in advance to anyone who would like to attend and gets closed out. Upcoming MASH meeting schedule.
