February Meeting

This is a friendly reminder that we will be having our monthly meeting this coming Monday, February 18th. As usual, we will be meeting at Old Dog Tavern at 7pm. This month's topic will be stouts complete with club-purchased samples. We are still looking for a volunteer for the presentation. If you are interested, please contact Chris (chris@klob.org).

Spring Bus Trip

We are pleased to announce that we are officially set to begin ticket sales for our spring bus trip. The trip is scheduled for Saturday, April 6th. We will leave Kalamazoo from Shakespeare's Pub promptly at 10am and expect to return at 10pm. Our tentative route will take us to the following locations:

• Old Hat Brewery (Lawton, MI)
• The Livery (Benton Harbor, MI)
• Greenbush Brewing Company (Sawyer, MI)
• Bare Hands Brewery (Granger, IN)
• Paw Paw Brewing Company (Paw Paw, MI)

We are already reaching out to each of these locations but if one should drop out, we have a few other options. At the minimum, we will be making at least 4 stops. Tickets will be available at both the February and March meetings. The prices are $15 members and $20 for non-members. This only covers the cost for transportation so you are on your own for food and beverages. We have made a reservation on a 47-passenger coach through B&W Charters. We can upgrade to a 56-passenger coach if there is demand but that is our limit. Get tickets for you and your family, friends and co-workers ASAP! If you have any questions, contact the officers or see us at the next meeting.

NHC 2013

Tickets have already sold out but we already have several club members planning on making the trip out to Philadelphia. If you were one of the lucky few to get a ticket, let us know so we can coordinate our trips together and have the best showing for KLOB and Michigan as possible.
