YOU'RE INVITED…..
Mark your Calendars! Friday December 16th is the 3rd annual Soque Christmas Party and this year we have a BEER TASTING theme. To participate just bring a craft beer (defined as a beer made by a brewer that is small, independent, and traditional) at least one large 24 oz bottle, or two 12oz bottles and a potluck dish (veggies, meats, snacks or sweets). We'll do blind taste tests of beers to see which one's you like and help you navigate the wonderful world of craft beer. If you like the taste of beer in a glass rather than a plastic cup, please bring your favorite mug to show off. We'll also be selling SRWA Holiday Packs (see below) and signing up any new folks to our Soque Bulletin or maybe even as Members. Support your local river loving group.Excellent selections of craft beers can be found at Betty's in Helen, that beer store on 129 south in Cleveland, Hillside Beverage in Gainseville, and Beverage Superstore in Suwanee. Very limited selections are of course at Ingles but try and surprise us (and let us know of other good selections nearby). RSVP if you can and let us know how many and what you're bringing so we can tempt everyone - soque@windstream.net
