This is a friendly reminder that we will be having our monthly meeting this coming Monday, February 20th at 7pm at Old Dog Tavern in downtown Kalamazoo. The presentation will be on smoked-flavored and wood-aged beers by vice president Alex Mantakounis. Just as we did at the January meeting, members are allowed to bring in homebrew to share so if you have some good examples of these styles, this meeting will be the perfect time to sample them.
My apologies for the additional email but in my haste I forgot to include the date of our next meeting. We will be meeting on our normal date and time which would be Monday, December 19th at 7pm. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
It's that time of year again and we're planning another very special holiday meeting. The theme this year is barley wines and we will provide a wide variety of samples for this very intriguing style. The club will also provide a few snacks including bread, cheese and sausage. If you would like to bring in your own dishes to share, please don't hesitate. Also, if you have homebrew or other rare beers to share, feel free to bring those as well.
This is a friendly reminder that we will be meeting this Monday, November 21st at 7pm. We will be discussing the style of brown ales including their history, specifics of the style and the best methods to brew one of your own. The meeting will be held at Old Dog's Pub so, please, no outside beverages.
The 17th Annual KLOB Roast is just a few days away, this Saturday the 17th, starting at noon at Markin Glen Park in Kalamazoo. If you still haven't purchased your ticket, please get down to Tempo Vino Winery in downtown Kalamazoo tomorrow (Tuesday) so we can have an accurate head count for the folks at Q-It-Up. Plus, we are looking to also finalize our orders for T-shirts so they can all be ready for Saturday. If you already have your ticket, it's not too late to get a ticket for your friend, family member, co-coworker...anyone who loves good beer.
