| ------------------------- September Meeting Report by Dan Hodge Members present were: Dan Hodge, Livingston Hinckley, Brian Lynch, Brandon Einhorn, DJ Soboti, Dan Soboti, Jeff Levine, Tom Nooney and guest, Michelle Sullivan and guest, Steve Welgoss, Nanette Welgoss. The meeting was a presentation by Mike Battaglia and Gennaro Scotto D’Anniello of Total Beverage Solutions, importers of spirits, wines, and world class beer. Beers provided by Total Beverage Solutions were Weihenstephaner Vitus (strong hefeweizen, 7.7%) ABV, judged best beer in the world at the 2011 World Beer Awards, Greene King Old Golden Hen at 4.5% ABV and Old Crafty Hen at 6.5% ABV. Beers sampled after the meeting were Great Divide Claymore Scotch Ale Wee Heavy provided by Brian Lynch and Brandon Einhorn’s Cologne Kolsch home brew. A surprise brew was then brought out by Mike Battaglia: a one of a kind, one time only special brew, made for Angela Merkel, Prime Minister of Germany, by Weihenstephan. This 13.3% eisbock was made especially for Ms. Merkel in a six barrel only brewing. Four barrels were sent to Berlin for Ms. Merkel’s personal and affairs of state use, one barrel was sent to Moscow to be used as designated by Vladimir Putin and the remaining barrel was sent to Oldschtadter Distributing in Munich to be marketed as they saw fit. Total Beverage Solutions was lucky enough to procure a gallon and a half of this unbelievable brew which they immediately packaged into 16oz swing top bottles, three of which they brought to the meeting to be appreciated by those members present. Most of those present awarded it 5 stars and were greatly disheartened to learn that the this beer will never be made again. (just kidding - but it was a great meeting nonetheless.!) ----------------------------- --------------------- Support Beer Support the New Jersey Craft Brewers' Guild and all those who enjoy quality beer by asking Governor Christie to sign the pro-small brewery bill currently on his desk.
