Thank you Bold City Brewery for hosting our December meeting. We appreciate all of the judges that came out early to help judge the Cider Interklub Competition this evening!

This evening was special because one of CASK’s founding members is moving onto a new life chapter. Thank you Mike Lentz for your years of devoted service to CASK serving as an officer, a friend, and a mentor to our members. We appreciate everything you have done for our club, and will miss your leadership and company at future CASK events. We wish you the best in your retirement! 

Congratulations to our Medalists!
