I went to the CABA shindig upstairs at The Rhino last night. Nice affair, some excellent homebrews. There seemed to be an emphasis on Porters, including an intriguing Black Pepper Porter.
The speaker was Marvin Dyck from Wellington. The real news to me of the evening was the flat-out admission that Wellington no longer bottles the Imperial Russian Stout at all. They brew it for cask only. Bummer. A number of us certainly put the pressure on Marvin to get it back on the shelves.

I recently purchased a membership too, and I also have not received any info. I'm not too worried about it, just check the website, and you should get a quarterly newsletter or something.
However, I did know about the homebrew Porter Competition, looks like a Regina boy kicked some ass! http://homebrewers.ca/competitions_Port ... inners.php
Besides coming on here to brag (I actually shipped the winning entry, yay me!), I was wondering if anyone here tasted this fine brew? I judged it at a local competition, and it was stellar; it took first place at that event too.
