If less than half of those currently directly subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to spare for next year. Please consider it. Financial Projection as of 31 May 2013 *** Condition: Cautiously Optimistic *** 501(c)3 status rescinded. Refiled 1023 for retroactive status 25 June 2012. Per the IRS, our case must be assigned to an agent. IRS is currently assigning applications received in March 2012. Ours was received in late June. To current financials, HBD is officially bankrupt in August. Due to recent developments, HBD.org will likely have to be dissolved per the bylaws once funding runs out. Projected 2012 Budget $3,145.01 Expended against projection $1,586.99 Unplanned expenditures ($ 152.00) Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($ 89.84) As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged and accounted for on the HBD web page.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 00:09:13 -0400 From: "Bill Pierce" <BillPierce at aol.com> Subject: RE: Three Brewers in Oakville, Ontario Pat Babcock asks about the new 3 Brewers (it's Les 3 Brasseurs in Quebec) pub in Oakville, Ontario. While that's not quite my immediate local neighborhood, it's only a 20-25 minute drive, so I should be familiar with it. I confess I haven't been there yet. I'm guessing the location was once occupied by an outlet of the Gordon Biersch brewpub chain, which never really succeeded in Canada and retreated to its US roots. At any rate, I have been to Les 3 Brasseurs in Montreal, and I can report that the beer was drinkable but not fabulous. They have expanded to about 10 locations in recent years, including one in downtown Toronto. Word from those I generally trust is that they all have a certain house yeast flavor that is somewhat distinctive and not loved by all, but you could do worse if you happen to find yourself there. Pat, I realize you are something of a captive of work when you are in Oakville, which I'm sure you know has kind of a schizophrenic personality as a city. It's at the same time a faceless suburb and also one of the wealthiest communities in Canada in certain neighborhoods. Unfortunately it's just not a great place for beer; you have to hunt a bit to find places with the right selection. In sum I'd say you might as well check it out. You're close enough that you can walk 10-15 minutes back to your hotel. Brew on! Bill Pierce Cellar Door Homebrewery Burlington, Ontario Return to table of contents
