The Mockingbird

"all the brews that fit..."

   The Premier Pub-lication of Summer Institute, The Mockingbird reserves the right to report make fun of everything at SI that needs it, and then some. Proudly helping SI campers blow beverages through their noses since 2005! All resemblance to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental -- honest, it's the beer talking.

Beer Tasting Workshop 3.0 (1.0 was 2005, 2.0 in '07, '06 was sort of a 1.5; we're going at it again)

Are you a homebrewer? Please plan to bring some to sample with the workshop. A six-pack should be sufficient for each batch you care to share. I'd like to try to match a commercial example of the style if you're up to the comparison. Let me know in advance, if possible, what you'd be bringing and how you'd like it presented. Kegs might be accomodated, but bottles are much, much easier to handle (I know...)

Hey, Hummingbird, nice try; see you again next year?

No Beer Tasting Workshop this year, sorry. It's starting to look like an "odd-numbered year" kind of thing.
