Our fearless leader, Roger Penrod - founder of Zymurgist Borealis, President for life and part-time moose (fortunately for Roger moose season had just ended).

We had a beautiful sunny day for our "meeting" with temperatures in the 60's F.

Based upon this picture can you guess where the kegs and bottles of beer are?

This was a great day to be outside and hang out with good friends and good homebrew.

After an absence of a few years Dennis Stephens, a member of the Red Hackle pipeband, made an appearance. As usual, we heard Dennis before we saw him. He marched down the road while playing the bagpipes and then once at our site continued to serenade us before marching away while still playing the pipes. He, of course came back to partake in the festivities.

Unfortunately, I was so enthralled by his playing that I did not remember my camera until after the fact. Above is an "artist" rendition of Dennis serenading us with the pipes.
