The May Meeting of the Twin Cities Perfect Pint Beer Club

When: Friday, May 21, 2010
Cost: $25
You must be a member of the club to attend. Go to the Twin Cities Perfect Pint Beer Club to join and RSVP.

In the Beer Style Guidelines of the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) there is a place called Category 23. Like the infamous Area 51 deep in the Nevada desert, Category 23 is a place of mystery and myth. It is a category that only the most intrepid individuals dare to judge. Category 23 is a realm of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas; a wondrous category whose boundaries are that of imagination. You enter this realm by unlocking the door of experimentation and crossing over into…specialty beers.

For this meeting we’ll taste beers that don’t fit anywhere else. We’ll try beers that utilize unusual techniques and abnormal ingredients; beers that mimic traditional or historical styles. In short, Category 23 is the place for any experimental beer that the brewer creates. This is where we will go. Are you up to it?
