| ---------------------- November 10 Meeting HOME BREW SHOWDOWN It's finally here -one of our most popular meetings of the year- the Home Brew Showdown! On Sunday, Nov. 10 at 4 PM we will have nearly a dozen of New Jersey's finest home brewers face off in a battle for the coveted DB15 Gold Brewing Medal. The beers will all be Session IPAs. Each entry used the exact same ingredients to make this truly a test the brewer's skill. Everyone attending, brewers, non-brewers, members, and guests, will be able to both sample and judge each of the entries. Your vote counts - don't miss this meeting! -------------------- Session Beers While there are no BJCP or GABF definitions of a "session beer" most people see it as a beer that does not exceed 5% ABV. Beer Advocate defines it as "a beer with high drinkability. The purpose of a session beer is to allow a drinker to have multiple beers, within a reasonable time period or session, without overwhelming the senses or reaching inappropriate levels of intoxication." It has been suggested that the term "session" referred to one of the two allowable drinking periods in England that were imposed by the government on shell production workers during World War I. Typically the licensed sessions were 11am-3pm and 7pm-11pm, and apparently continued up until the Liquor Licensing Act 1988 was introduced. Workers would find a beer that they could adequately quaff within these restrictive 4-hour "sessions" and still be able to return to productive work. ----------------- December Meeting Gaslight Victorian Dinner December 18, 2013 There will be an exclusive DB15 member discount!
