6th Annual East Kingdom Brewers' Collegium

December 4-6, 1998

Peekskill, NY (Northpass)

The East Kingdom Brewers' Guild invites all brewers, mead-makers, vintners, cordialeers, and those who aspire to learn the art to the Sixth Annual Brewers' Collegium at the rustic Blue Mountain Trail Lodge, located at 435 Welcher Avenue, Peekskill, NY on Dec. 4-6.

Class topics will include judging techniques for comparison and for contests, redaction techniques for producing period potables, and a host of other topics. Those wishing to impart their knowledge should contact Baron Sean de Londres, the autocrat, for scheduling. Ph# 718- 762-4645.

All practitioners of the art are asked to bring recipes with a sample. All recipes will be considered for inclusion in the First East Kingdom Brewers' Handbook, due out in Autumn 1999.

Novices and Journeymen who wish to advance to the next level may bring samples with their recipes for review and consideration by the assembled masterbrewers of the guild.

Your chef for the even will be Lady Ilya Scott, recently moved from the Mid-Realm. Special dietary considerations must be requested in writing with your paid reservation by Nov. 5th. Please include your day and evening phone numbers as our chef may wish to speak with you.

The site opens at 6 PM Friday and closes at 1PM Sunday. Anyone in attendance after 12 Noon is considered part of the clean-up committee. The cost for the event whether you arrive Friday or Saturday is $22. Please make your check payable to "SCA, Inc. - NorthPass," and send it to the troll, Ken Slahor, 50 Tenth Street, Locust Valley, NY 11560. Ph# 516-676-5448.
