Every month the Borg nominates a member that has been a positive and helpful contributor to the BeerBorg Collective. This is where read about all nominations, elections and the BOTMs themselves
This "spoiler" just gives you a quick update on me.
Although I am still on restricted lifting I started back to work and then before I had been back a week had an issue with my throat that took me out a few more days but only required antibiotics and pain meds. I'm hoping this doesn't continue all year.
INFO ON NOMINATIONS AND VOTING
Any member of BeerBorg.com is eligible to be nominated for the Brewer Of The Month.
A member may make one nomination. It is helpful to post why you are making the nomination.
A member may make any number of seconds.
Any member that receives a nomination and second from separate persons will be included in the poll.
A previous BOTM cannot be nominated again until at least one year after the month they were BOTM.
It is in bad taste to nominate or second yourself, but you are free to vote for yourself if you choose. (Don't blame anyone else if you lose by one vote. )
Rather than restrict nominations in some way the number of choices per poll are increased due to the number of nominees. There will be one vote up to 5 nominees, two votes with 6-10, and three votes should more than 10 members ever be nominated.
Let's go ahead and get this show back on the road even though it is a few days into the month already.
I'm sure Kealia's shoulders are getting sore from the weight he has been carrying around as BOTM.
So let's give him a break and have some nominations for this months Borg Brewer Of The Month!

"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
