DOZE Member and future members, Welcome to 2014! Our first meeting is next week on the 27th of January, 6:30 pm at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. We will have a presentation from DOZE member, Mike Smith, who recently traveled to Belgium with his son. I presume he will give us the highlights as well as travel tips for those of you who want to travel to the beer mecca of Europe.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed the tomb of an ancient beer brewer in the city of Luxor in Egypt that is more than 3,000 years old. Egypt’s minister of antiquities Mohammed Ibrahim said the tomb was discovered by Japanese archaeologists and belonged to Khonso Em Heb. The tomb of Khonso Em Heb., who lived 3,200 years ago, was “one of the most important discoveries made in the city of Luxor … at the Thebes necropolis”, he said.

Support our Donors!! Dinner catered by El Molino.
