The next meeting will be held back at Bailey's Pub 'N Grille in
Dearborn on Wednesday, March 24. Bailey's is located on the
southeast
corner of Michigan and Mason. Their address is 22091 Michigan Avenue
and their phone number is 313-277-3212. As usual, the thirsty hardcore
who want dinner will start arriving around 5PM, people will drift in
for
an hour or so, and we will start our meeting around 6PM.
The club meetings will still be held at Bailey's in Dearborn, but we will be meeting in the lounge in the basement. Management at Bailey's has asked us to try to use the door closer to Michigan Ave on Mason. This door is right by the stairs to the downstairs lounge.
February's competition results will be reported with March's in the April Newsletter.
March's competition has the broad competition category, Extracts. The beers that are entered in this competition can be from any BJCP categories, but must be at least 50% extract. It is an AHA competition. The details for the club only competition can be found on the appropriate AHA web page. Bottle and entry forms (useful for non-AHA competitions) can be found there too.
The BJCP descriptions for all categories can be found on their web page.
Next month's competition has the competition category, Bitter and English Pale and Irish Red Ale BJCP category #4 and Irish Red Ale. Hopefully the site will be up soon. As for the Irish Red Ale, Jeff Renner has a recipe in the Homebrew Digest 4464.

For those of us who are forever searching for the healthiest eating habits...... Questions and Answers from the first nutrition expert I've found who seems to make sense: From: Dr. Buford Teapotts, MD. Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable) and a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop. Q: Is beer or wine bad for me? A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables. Q: How can I calculate my body:fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain... Good. Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: What's the secret to healthy eating? A: Thicker gravy. Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO? Cocoa beans... another vegetable! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. Have a cookie... flour is a veggie! One more thing: When life hands you lemons, ask for a bottle of tequila and some salt.( This is a joke - the editor)
