April Meeting Reminder

We’re excited to go on a field trip to Wild Frontier next Thursday for our April meeting! Chris, from Wild Frontier, will host our education segment and is also providing some free specialty malt for members to take home; some leftovers from Mad Swede. If you’d like to take home any malt, it’s BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag/Bucket). There will be a trivia night going on in the beer hall so the meeting will take place in the brewing area, which means dogs will most likely need to be left at home. 

Meeting details:
Wild Frontier, 2772 S Cole Rd #140, Boise, ID 83709
Thursday, April 9th 
Social hour @ 6pm
Meeting @ 7pm
