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 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.

October 2004 Meeting Minutes

The Christmas Party date was set for December 10th, and the party was discussed.  It will be like last year with the food provided by the club and interesting commercial beers or homebrew will be brought by the club members.  It will once again be at the Oxford Hunt Clubhouse in Cary.  We may invite Trub to participate in the festivities.

A BJCP class may potentially be held for interested parties with an exam scheduled for a NC location in the Summer of 2005.

We then went into "TELL US ABOUT THIS BEER" and at cookies that Seamane had made from DME…mmm…cookies…(recipe to be in future newsletter)
