Month: August 2024

Hi all, from Niall!
Hope everyone has relatively recovered and recharged following Pennsic. I’ll be at the Washington Blvd. site tomorrow evening with the range open from 5:30 until 8:00 pm for a mid-week archery practice.
Also, next Sunday’s regular practice (8/25) will also feature the next in the line of Sky List Stellar Tournaments.

Hello, fencers! Starting this Sunday, August 25th, one practice a month will be focused on Cut & Thrust! Bring your gear if you’ve got it. Some loaner gear will be available as well for folks interested in getting started. (There will still be regular fencing alongside C&T)

Debatable Brewers and Friends,

Their Excellencies and I have talked about it briefly and We will have a Twelfth Night Competition for Brewing at the Debatable Lands Event.

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! We want to know more about what you make and how you do it; but its 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

The next fiber guild meeting will be Monday, September 16th from 7-9 PM at our usual place, 5167 Rosecrest Dr, Pittsburgh PA.

Since there were requests for a fall dye day, I will be bringing madder dyed samples and my indigo shibori books so we can discuss and plan for a day in October before it gets too cold.

Zoom link will be sent out closer to the date.

Since most of us were in another world last week, the 1st Wednesday of even months business meeting will be tonight instead of last week. Please join us by zoom if you would like to see how business happens in the barony. We’ll be putting final touches on Seven Pearls, getting an update on Agincourt, and looking at a bid for 12th Night, among other things. Everyone is welcome, and it’s a great way to start to get involved in the workings of our hobby. If you’re thinking about a spring event, it isn’t too early to get started either.
