We have two major announcements from our good friends at Paw Paw Brewing Company. First, we are pleased to announce that PPBC will begin offering a 15% discount on homebrew supplies at their general store to all KLOB members. Please make sure to have your 2014 membership card available to prove you are a member in good standing.

Meanwhile, Paw Paw is looking to celebrate their third anniversary, which will take place on January 18th, in a very special way by kicking off their very own homebrew competition.  The winner will get to recreate their beer on Paw Paw's 5 bbl system. For the small entry fee of $20 you will receive:

• 5 gallons of wort prepared from their own brewhouse
• 2 oz. of your choice of hops
• Choice of yeast

You can use these and any other ingredients to make your entry.  Both pick up and drop off will take place at their production facility at 123 Commercial Ave. across from St. Julian's winery.  You must turn in four 12 oz. bottles by February 23rd.  Your entry should also include:

• Name
• Phone number
• Name of beer
• Style/category

If you are interested in participating, contact Keither via phone (269.415.0145) or email (keith@2pawsbeer.com).
