Ronnie Crocker of the Houston Chronicle blogged about our general secretary getting his brews thang on at St. Arnold.

Comrade Chris brews at St. Arnold

It's all about salsa this month. Salsa and beer, that is. The BOM is Bocks (a fitting style for the return of the real Commissar Brewski, eh?), and the KOM is Robert Chan's Palm IPA.

What more could you ask for? Well, how about the news that the 1992 death of science fiction legend Isaac Asimov is a complete hoax? Damn straight, comrades! Check it out in this month's KGB Files.

Oh, and the recipe for Robert's Palm IPA is in there, too.

What more could you ask for?

The 17th Lunar Rendezbrew was held last Saturday and three of our compatriots came away with awards.  Comrade Marc Bernard won second place in the strong ale category (19).  Comrade Wes Powell won third place in the Belgian strong ale category (18).  Last, but not least, Commissar Brewski Donald Sajda took both second and third places in the dessert wine category (33) with his orange muscat and raspberry chocolate port, respectively.

Congratulations, comrades!  I expect a taste of these prize winning beers at the August meeting.  Don’t disappoint!
