Hello Brewers and Friends!

The brewers guild is meeting tomorrow at Muirgheal and jorundr’s house at 7 pm est.

We are talking Oxymels, Shrubs, Switchel, and Swizzles! We’re branching out from Sejankabin into other non-alcoholic options as we enter Twelfth Night and indoor event season.

If you do not have the address, it is in the dark pages or you can email or message me for it. Muirgheall@gmail.com

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

See ya tomorrow!
Muirgheal

As a reminder, we will be holding both armored and rapier practice this Sunday, 12/8, from 11 am to 2 pm, at Ace Axe Throwing. A thrown weapons marshal is available should throwers wish to play as well.

We will have visitors for practice this week! Her Excellency of Brendoaken plans to attend and bring folks along to both fight and fence. She is seeking members of the Chivalry to help her finish her 100 knight challenge. This should be a lot of fun. I hope to see many of you there.

Salve Acolens!

Officers and any barony members who choose to join us, tonight is the bimonthly business meeting. For the first time since the pandemic, we will be moving to in-person meetings again, but we will retain the virtual option for those who need it. We welcome anyone who would like to see how things work, or consider getting more involved in the running of the barony.

8:00 tonight, at Ace Axe Throwing, 145 E 8th Avenue Homestead, PA 15120. Park in the Aldi lot at 127 E 7th Ave just around the corner. We’ll be in the small group room at the back of the first floor. For those who are interested, the bar will be open. Ace is giving us the space for free, so let’s thank them with some business. Unfortunately, the Puerto Rican restaurant is not open on Wednesdays.

So far there is no new business. If you have something please let me know as soon as possible. We’ll be reviewing Agincourt and checking in on progress for 12th Night and Iris Festival, as well as starting conversation about spring and summer barony meetings.

Looking for something to do over the winter between events? Consider making largesse for Debatable Lands Twelfth Night ! Six pieces of largesse will earn you a ticket towards a raffle to win a gift basket and multiple tickets can be earned!

Don’t want to make your largesse alone? We’ve got something for that too! The next Baronial Scriptorium will be Thursday, December 19th from 6:30pm-9:30pm and for those of us not traveling for the holidays, A&S Night will be Thursday, December 26th, 6:30-9:30pm, both at my home in Stanton Heights. Yes, this means scroll blanks can count as largesse!

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you would like help determining how you can contribute or if you need further details for attending Scriptorium or A&S Night.

YIS, THLady Elinor Walden

We will be at Ace Axe Throwing the Sunday after Thanksgiving, 12/1/25. They have an event in the space we use that day, so all equipment must be out by 2pm. This is a hard deadline. However, we are invited to stick around after for the party, if we would like to participate. Dagon can provide details if you are interested.

On Sunday 12/8/24, Her Excellency, the Baroness of Brendoaken, better known as Wolverine, will be visiting our practice and bringing some Midrealm guests along. She is on a quest to fight 100 members of the Chivalry and is near the finish. Any knights or masters who would come help her in this goal would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, fencers! This Sunday, December 1st, will be our next Cut and Thrust focused fencing practice. Bring your gear if you’ve got it!

Debatable Brewers and Friends,
Their Excellencies and I have talked about it & We will have a Twelfth Night Competition for Brewing at the Debatable Lands Event (January 25, 2025).

There will be two selections, one from Alcoholic Beverages and one from Non-Alcoholic Beverages.

The theme will be “Winter Flavors”. Please prepare for us a drink that invites us to enjoy winter spices, fruits, and flavors! Whatever style of drink you make; just make it for a winter wonderland!

What am I thinking of for Winter Flavors?
Gingerbread, Peppermint, Cranberry, Nutmeg, Clove, Cinnamon, Hazelnut, Pumpkin, Chestnut, Orange, Caramel, Eggnog, Cocoa, Chai, Black Pepper, Turmeric, Chili, Garlic, Butternut Squash, Coriander, Anise, Vanilla, etc.

Due to allergies; your entry must include the full list of ingredients

Bonus points will be given for documentation because knowledge is power! (Power corrupts; Study Hard, Be Evil!) We want to know more about what you make and how you do it; but it’s not a requirement to participate!

And don’t forget, Our Noble populace loves it when we brew For Science! So don’t be afraid to try a few different ways to get to your Winter Flavor.

In Service,
Muirgheal
Debatable Brewing Guild Mistress

Ps as always, you are not required to live in the area to participate!

Ps the next DebatableBrewers Guild Meeting is 12/12/2024 and will focus on Non-Alcoholic beverages (swizzles, shrubs, and other things of that ilk)

We could use more help.

We are again holding an armor workshop this Wednesday, November 20th, at Turlough and Finé’s place. Our first repair night got us organized and started on some initial work. There is plenty more to do!

Anyone that wants to assist is welcome. Folks can arrive anytime after 3pm.

Adress is 129 Sunset Ln, Pittsburgh, PA 15209. To get to their house you turn down a gravel lane, there is a green sign on a utillity pole with the addresses down that lane. The house has his device hanging from a lamp post. Google maps directions below.

Hope to see folks there!
