Meeting Location
CARBOY’s monthly meetings are currently held at the BB&Y Restaurant. BB&Y is located on the first floor of the Caswell Building at 3700 National Drive, in the Koger Center off Glenwood Avenue in West Raleigh. Owner Nick Jones allows CARBOY to meet monthly at his restaurant when we don’t have picnics or field trips scheduled. BB&Y is open for breakfast and lunch each week-day. We encourage members to visit BB&Y for a relaxed informal meal. Please let Nick now you’re from CARBOY when you visit his restaurant.

September 2002 Meeting Minutes

  1. The first order of business was to speak of the next several events:

    - TRUB competition, held at BB&Y, will be on Nov 2, 2002.

  2. We then held a COC (Club Only Competition) judging for the CARBOY representative for Strong Belgian Ale. There were 3 entries, but Mike Weiss's was the winner.
  3. The MALT competition results were announced. With over 280 plus entries, we had the following showing from CARBOY members:

  4. Jim Brewer then held an education session dealing with off-flavors, what they are and what causes them (see the sheet elsewhere on the website)

    5. We then went into "TELL US ABOUT THIS BEER", and it all went uphill/downhill from there.
