October meeting October 7th

Greetings fellow FOSSILS!

Per our esteemed club president, Dennis Barry , 

"The October Meeting will be at Noble Funk at 2pm on 2nd Sunday, October 8th.  Mark your calendars now, and plan to attend! 

We will have a private room, on the left as you walk in.  The speaker from Noble Funk will come in around 2:45 or so, to give us time to take care of Club business.  

We had planned a Belgian Beer tasting but that will be pushed to the November meeting."

You will be on your own to purchase beer and/or food.

For our October meeting, we will also hold elections for the coming year. All four of the current officers have been renominated and agreed to run. Deb Frazier was nominated for treasurer so we will need to vote on that.

Since this will be an "away" meeting, there will be no raffle.

Noble Funk is a Louisville brewery, located at 922 S 2nd St.   Louisville, KY 40203  1-502-755-BREW (2739) 

Come and enjoy the fun! 

Remember, those are required to be a member, and for many of you they are due now. $20 per year per person, is quite a deal! See our current treasurer, EdTash to re-up, and receive a framable membership card. Lol

Drink responsibly, and arrange for a ride home if necessary.

Awesome meeting tonight. About 20 people. Awesome beer tasting of various porters, including a 

Founder's Porter, 

Anchor Porter, 

Dechutes porter-Black Butte,

Great Lakes--Edmund Fitzgerald and

Sinebrychoff Baltic porter

All were very tasty, but very different. Thanks to Dennis Barry  for selecting these fine brews, and sharing education about each one of them. It really seems to add to the meeting. 

Once again, and awesome raffle with lots of unique raffle items. Honestly, I look forward to the raffle almost more than anything else at the meeting other than the friendship and fellowship.

Our May meeting will be the second Saturday at 2: 00pm! Yes, middle of the day. Let's see how that works.

FOSSILS executive committee meeting March 20th

The FOSSILS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE met March 20th to plan the next meeting and discuss future club plans.

All fossils members are welcome to attend these meetings and provide input.

Normal meeting time is on Sunday evenings, but the second Sunday of April is Easter so we will be meeting on the Tuesday after Easter April 11th,  6:00 p.m. in the New Albanian Public House. During this time of change, please check the Facebook group, the website, and your emails for current information.

Saturdays have been somewhat problematic meeting at the New Albanian, so we are experimenting with other meeting sites, times and days to see which might work the best.

This month, we will have a beer tasting of Porter style beers. 

Next month we will have a beer tasting of either Maibock or Belgian style beers. 

Discussed options for having our annual summer party.  Suggestions for a location are welcomed from anyone! Need to get moving on this quickly to have plans in place.

Need to start planning a few Brew in's this year, for the summer picnic and December Christmas party.

Discussed possibilities for off-site special outings through the week or on Saturdays. Visits to breweries and pubs, festivals.

Your humble secretary, Ed N

SUNDAY fossils meeting

Don't forget, monthly FOSSILS meeting this Sunday, not Saturday, at 6:00 p.m. There will be a raffle, so bring something interesting to add to the raffle, and bring some cash so that you can enter the raffle!

There will be a tasting, where each member gets several samples of world class barleywine beers. Dennis Barry is in charge of this and will bring the beers for sampling.

The new Albanian will be closed on Sunday night so no food will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own if you wish.

Spread the word, and invite guests. Make sure your dues are paid for the year, and let's have some fun!

Please drink responsibly, and make sure you have a designated driver if you are not safe to drive.

March meeting, Sunday March 12th at 6pm

Welllll, I talked with Jeff last evening, and discussed issues concerning our next meeting date, and told him we could remain as is, move it to Tuesday, or move to Sunday. I totally left it up to him, as we're 'using' their place to meet.  He thinks Sunday is best, for now.  When football starts up again, we'll re-visit it, if their help is still an issue...  Soooo, our next meeting will be on SUNDAY March 12, at SIX PM (since some people are still working).  And for those who like to eat at the mtg, he said that it's fine to bring your own food from wherever.  And this is time change day as well.  

 Tx, your President,

Dennis

February executive committee meeting

The FOSSILS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE met Tuesday evening at the New Albanian Public House. Officers were all present.

Discussed monthly meeting location, due to difficulties holding a meeting at the current time and location. One of the difficulties is we meet once a month on a Saturday evening and reserving the entire Pub sometimes creates conflict. NABC has begun to have concerns with reserving the entire Pub for FOSSILS, due to having to exclude other customers. Our meetings have been large enough to fill the entire Pub area, so having other customers in our meeting sometimes creates noisy and chaotic meetings. Until this is resolved, it would be nearly impossible to invite guest speakers.

We are looking into the possibility of Sunday evenings again, or possibly meeting at other, more appropriate venues. Dennis Barry and Gary Page plan on meeting with NABC owners to see if a more workable solution can be found.

Executives seem to be happy with the frequent beer tastings and education, so those will continue.

Discussed having extracurricular activities occasionally throughout the week at local breweries.

Our March meeting will be March 11th at 7:00 p.m. at the New Albanian Public House.

All members are welcome at executive meetings if you want to chime in on any of these issues. 

Always! Drink responsibly, and that means  bringing someone with you who can drive you home safely.

Spread the word! FOSSILS is back.

February meeting 2023

What a great February meeting! We had about 24 people, had a Bock tasting of four different beers, and a wonderful raffle with lots of great raffle items. Thanks to all the members who made it such a wonderful meeting. Let's do it again next month, okay?

Next month meeting, Saturday, March 11th at the New Albanian Brewing Company.

Monthly FOSSILS meeting this Saturday, February 11

Don't forget! Our meeting of the FOSSILS Homebrew Club, Saturday evening, February 11 at 7pm at the New Albanian Brewing Company, Public House side.

We are going to have a tasting of German Bock style beers. I love those. So good.

We will also have our monthly raffle, so bring something beer related to put in the raffle, and bring some cash to buy raffle tickets. The raffle is so much fun, and it earns money for the club and helps pay for the pitchers of beer that we serve at the meetings.

Guests are always welcome. Dues are $20 a year, and are due now for those who will be renewing their memberships.

You can always find this page at fossilsbrew.org

Please drink responsibly, and have a designated sober driver. See you there!

FOSSILS February 11 monthly meeting

The activity for this month will be a beer tasting, comparing several barley wine beers, with education about them.

January 14th meeting--Awesome!

We had a wonderful meeting yesterday, Saturday January 14th. There were 23 in attendance. All the executive officers were present. We began the meeting with reports from the treasurer, the secretary, and comments from the president. 

The secretary, me, discussed some of the activities of the past week, linking the internet domain name to the blog/web page. 

https://www.fossilsBrew.org 

Give it a try and see what you think. Tell your friends. Share the link.

There are so many beer aficionados and home brewers in the area that don't know about the FOSSILS club. 

Let's get the word out! 

If you are not receiving emails from the FOSSILS club, contact me via messenger, and I will update the list with your email address. I found a bunch the other day that still had insightbb emails, and they were bouncing with each mailing. Just let me know. 

Dennis Barry, our esteemed the president discussed plans for the future, the itinerary for the meeting which included a trivia contest put together by Ed and Kira Tash, and a beer tasting with education about the Old Ale style of beers. We sampled about 10 beers and learned quite a bit about each one of them. Much thanks to Dennis Barry and Ed Tash for pulling this together.

The raffle, as always, was lots of fun with a number of really nice raffle items. It's worth coming to the meeting just for the raffle, but there is so much more.

Be sure and make the February meeting! It will be as usual, the second Saturday of the month. 7pm at the New Albanian Brewing Company Pub!

See you there!

Your faithful secretary,

Ed Needham
