My name is Chris Elston and I am president of the Kalamazoo Libation Organization of Brewers (KLOB). We want to thank all of you that stopped by our location at the Oktoberfest event to sample our beers and check out our homebrewing demos. We hope you all had as much fun as we did! If you took part in our voting, you're probably interested in our final tally. Here's the top 3:
- Perfect Peach (peach wheat, 63 votes)
- Pumpkin Tide (pumpkin amber, 62 votes)
- Devil's Tears (pumpkin stout, 43 votes)
We are contacting you because you entered in our raffle in which we were giving away a homebrewing starter kit from our good friends at Bell's General Store. We want to congratulate our winner, Steve Smith!
Even if you didn't win, we want to take this moment to welcome all of you to some of the fun things we have planned in the near future. All of our meetings and events are open to the public. If you want to learn more about beer and the process behind it, we'd love to see you and share our knowledge and passion.
