[COHO] AHA Big Brew / COHO group brew schedule and general clubupdate...

[geoffrey marlowe]

Hi Brett

Count me in for the pale ale judging. I was thinking that maybe we should do 
a sensory analysis before the judging to calibrate our palets. I'm sorry I 
got too drunk at the last brew meeting, but I don't want that to happen 
again. If not, perhaps earlier in the next group meeting. Looking forward to 
cinco de mayo.

Geoff
