We still need lots of responsible persons (21 and over) to pour beer and help out at the Brew Fest on April 6th, so be sure to volunteer and also round up some of your friends. It's really fun to pour and be a part of the action, and when the festival is over, the volunteers get to drink the remaining beers and eat pizza! There is also a free t-shirt and other goodies in it for you. We also need people to help do hand stamps at the door, run the registration booths out front, and dump the dump buckets. Volunteers should be serious about following our rules, not drinking until the fest is over, and pouring 2 oz. samples! IMPORTANT VOLUNTEER MEETING: Thursday, April 4th, 8 PM to 9 PM upstairs at Wild Wing Cafe (Washington Street, downtown Athens). Please do your very best to attend if you'd like to volunteer. If you can't make it to the April 4th meeting, but would still like to volunteer, please be present in the downstairs exhibit hall of the Classic Center by 11:30 am SHARP on April 6th for the MANDATORY meeting for ALL volunteers -- we can get you set up then. Please reply to this email or call Owen at 706-254-BREW if you have any questions. Otherwise, just come to a meeting. Thanks. REAL ALE IN LONDON, UK At the beginning of March Owen led some friends to a real ale pub tour of London. We saw all the sights and tasted some of the freshest cask-conditioned ale we'd ever had. What is cask ale? How did we find the best pubs? Just how bad was it when the Young's Ale dray horse blew his nose on Erin's jacket? Find out all these answers by clicking on... http://www.negia.net/~brew/london2002.html NAME THAT BEER BOTTLE Check out this fun game that will test your ability to identify different beer bottles from their shape and color alone.
