Fnq Tablelands Brew Up

[mattbrewer]

As promised,

this is to let all Far North QLD grain brewers know that the Tablelands chapter is having their June brew up on the weekend of 20th June in Atherton.

Would be good to see a few lowlanders come up for a social gathering.

We haven't decided whether to have a Saturday or Sunday brew, so if you are keen let us know.

Thanks for coming up Ned, a pleasure meeting another enthusiastic brewer.

We are are a good looking group of brewers aren't we?? Maybe we should start a 'men of brew' calander!!

Look forward to tasting 3 diiferent versions of the smokey Porter when we come down. I am already planning a three course meal for our July meeting to top the one we had last night.
