October 2025 MASH Monthly News

Join us on Tuesday, October 21st at 7:30 PM at Ramstein Beer in Butler for our monthly meeting. We have a fantastic agenda on deck:

🎉 Brewer’s Duel: Pilsner 🍺

This month’s Brewers’ Duel features Jim Dorward in a head to head battle against Ed O’Neill in the battle for the best crisp, snappy, yellow Pilsner beer. Come join us to see who has developed their malt, hops, and water to create the most drinkable PIlsner. Maybe one of the contestants brought out the big guns and tried a decoction! You’ll have to join us to find out. 

🔬Competition Scoresheet Insights 🕵️‍♀️

For anyone with beers that were entered in Motown MASH, War of the Worts, or any other recent competitions, bring the scoresheet and a few bottles of your entry for Competition Scoresheet Insights (CSI) and we’ll see how our tastes compare to your scoresheets.
