Welcome to the Philopotes Society

Welcome to the Philopotes Society. It's my plan to create a beer tasting club where a group of friends get together once a month to sample some beers, eat some food — mostly cheese — and just hang out and talk. Each meeting ... er, tasting, will be held on the last Tuesday of the month (unless otherwise arranged). For now, membership is by invitation only. To be considered for membership you should know me and send me an e-mail. J
