Suggestion: Recycle your German Life Magazines
The Club receives a limited supply of these wonderful magazines which are given out complimentary to members, and they disappear very quickly. So, when you’re finished with your copy, consider returning it to the Club for someone else to enjoy. Just place on the table in the vestibule.

Liederkranz Ludwig will then make his groundhog day prognostication

OnTap Beer News
By Jim Weber
There are some very good new and returning beers on tap at your favorite club. Come check them out!
How would like to buy your beer from a brewery owned by the PLCB? Not exactly racing out the door to the local State Store? In Germany, many breweries came under municipal control at times during their histories and today, several well-known brands remain that way; Hofbrau and Rothaus, in particular. Budvar in the Czech Republic – the original Budweiser – is also state owned. Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan is fully owned by the government of Bavaria but is run as a modern enterprise matching ancient brewing traditions with private sector practices.
