In April’s meeting Keith Besonen reminded us that Back in April 1993 FLOPS conducted our first meeting. In our f first newsletter, Our Primary Fermentor, Dr John Griffiths, proclaimed that on “April 4, 1993 a small group gathered to form FLOPS” By the Fall of 1993 the club had grown to “about 15 members”.
FLOPS was formed by ” a small group of home brewers of in Northwest Arkansas who enjoy making and drinking home-brewed beers…” We have grown significantly over the last years, but this still remains constant, as can be witnessed at any of our meetings!
In April’s meeting our current Primary Fermentor, Ash Goodwin, motioned that since we will be of legal drinking age April 2014 we should plan something to commemorate our 21st birthday; a trip, a commemorative brew, a special T-shirt,… you tell us. Please bring your suggestions to the next meeting, or EMAIL us your idea!
I believe our founder would be proud of where FLOPS is today. So raise your glass; To FLOPS and Dr John. – Iechyd da
