Don't miss this meeting! -------------------- September Meeting by Dan Hodge Meeting commenced at approximately 4:20 pm and was supposed to a presentation of beers offered by an unnamed distributor (Billy Morrissey from Belukus Marketing) who bailed out at the last minute due to an upset stomach, or so he said. In retribution some members suggested we avoid buying any of his portfolio including Kostritzer Schwartzbier, a keg of which was tapped at the Gaslight in honor of his anticipated presence. The proposal was tabled. Members attending were: Chris Johnson, Livingston Hinckley, Doug Vohden, Mark Ferguson, Brandon Einhorn, Glenn DeLuca, Tom Nooney, Faith Franziano, Dan Soboti, DJ Soboti, Vince Capano, Dan Hodge, Brian Lynch, Jeff Levine, and Justin Jackson. Non member present was Patrick Shipman Even without the scheduled speaker or an agenda the meeting was a great hit as we had an impromptu sampling of various beers brought by members and beers that were discovered in the depths of Gaslight’s renowned beer cellar.
