2009 Schedule
Hey Karen,
You've done a great job this year. I'm glad you picked a few "out there" beer styles. I'm sure it has expanded some horizons. I know I learned a lot.
It's time to come up with the 2009 schedule so folks can start planning out their brews.
My only suggestion for next year is to try to narrow the focus on categories that have a lot of sub styles. I think it could be beneficial for the group to focus a little closer on 1-3 substyles instead of 5 or 6. It seems we had to rush on a few occasions b/c there were so many beers. (Good problem to have I guess)
There's only a few categories where this applies. (some belgian categories)
