This is a friendly reminder that this Monday, December 20th we will be having our annual Holiday Meeting. The centerpiece will be a hand-select set of Imperial Stouts and Baltic Porters. The location will be different than our regular meetings. We will be instead meeting at the home of Bryan Jennings, owner of Q-It-Up catering company who provide the dinners at our KLOB Roasts. His address is 4454 Olde Forest DR., Kalamazoo. Olde Forest Drive is on the south side of Stadium / Red Arrow, just past the intersection of Stadium Dr. & 4th St.

There will be limited seating so we recommend bringing a chair if you need one. The club will provide a few snacks but we encourage bringing a dish or other goodies to share with the group. Since we will be at a private residence, you can bring your homebrew if you so choose. Between the heavy beers and homebrew, we please ask that you do so partake responsibly and make any necessary plans for a designated driver.

New Website

Many of you may have noticed the new and improved KLOB.org website. There is plenty of new functionality as well as some familiar features. We have been adding users as they register or renew their membership for 2011. If you want to join in on all the activity, make sure to become an active member for 2011 at an upcoming meeting.

Articles

Many of you have asked that we include hand-outs and other materials from past presentations on the website. We've started by including Geoff Groff's November presentation on High-Gravity Brewing and Ales:

If you have given a presentation in the past, please help us by making it available on the website. You can either email any documents or submit them directly on the website. If you need assistance, please contact Chris Elston (chris@klob.org)

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 20th! Otherwise, have a Happy New Year and see you in January.
