We apologize for the extra emails but we forgot to mention a few exciting developments in our last newsletter.

FastRack Speed Challenge

We were reached by the people from FastRack, a homebrewing product that assists with drying and storing bottles.  They are sponsoring a competition that includes a chance for a free ticket to the National Homebrew Conference.

We have been designated as an event location at this month's meeting, next Monday, March 17th.  The fastest time from our event will be submitted to be elligible for the championships in Grand Rapids.  The fastest 15 video submissions, from all sanctioned events, will be selected for the finals at the 35th National Homebrewers Conference and given free conference passes.

We'll conduct our competition after our formal presentation so there is no distraction and everyone can get a chance to participate.

New Holland Brewing Co. AHA Rally

The American Homebrewers Association is planning a special event close to Kalamazoo:

This is a great opportunity to get both a behind-the-scenes look at NHBC and also meet fellow homebrewers from all over the state.  AHA rallies are free to current AHA members but you do need to RSVP as the event can potentially fill up.
