More Website Changes
As we continue to find out what works best with the new website, we’ve made a few more changes. First, the future newsletters will be regular posts as opposed to a separate page. This will be easier to maintain and there some things we can do to make the website more readable that we can’t do on the separate pages.
WordPress.com, our site’s host, has added Google calendar support. What this means to you is that we now have an updated list of upcoming events and competitions in our sidebar (look right). The links are still in the main menu above to see the full calendars.
In this newsletter:
May Board Meeting Minutes
Bloatarian Open on Saturday
GACL German Day Donations
Beer and Deer, McDermott Brewout
Bloat Open 2011
Thanks for entering… we have 117 entries this year.
Winners list is HERE!

This year’s competition will take place on Saturday, May 21st at the Reading Terraqua Club, 7713 Dimmick Road, Cincinnati, OH 45241.
Most members HAND CARRY their entries to the competition on Saturday morning, however, if you will be unable to attend the event, you should make arrangements with Andy (bblminister@fuse.net) to drop off your entries at Listermann’s by noon on Thursday, May 19th.
DETAILS AT: http://bloatopen.brewcompetition.com
Instructions:
1. Arrive between 9AM—9:30AM to register your entries at Reading Terraqua Club, 7713 Dimmick Road Cincinnati, OH 45241 (if you have not already made prior arrangements for your entries).
2. New members entering beers will need to pay the additional $6 ($10 of which was paid at registration time) on day of competition for a pro-rated 2011 BBL membership for a total cost of $16. (In essence you are becoming a new member at a discounted rate (instead of the annual $24) and your entries are free)
3. All entries (bottled, kegged or otherwise) must be labeled when delivered. Print your labels after you have submitted your entry and affix to your entry vessel.
If you can, please bring a side dish to share as we will be grilling and partying after the awards ceremony.
