As you all should be aware, the National Homebrew Conference is being held in Grand Rapids from June 12th to 14th.  Tickets are still available for the full conference but if you can't spare the full time and cost, you can still participate.  One of the most exciting events during the conference is the Club Night which features homebrew clubs from all over the country sharing their beers.  The AHA has now made available tickets just for the Club Night event taking place on Friday, June 13th from 7:00 to midnight.  The cost is $45 and you must be an AHA member.  If you are interested, please contact our AHA representative, Mark Ohrstrom (mohrstrom@gmail.com).
