Happy Spring everyone! We have a couple events coming up that you just might be interested in...
The 2016 Bus Trip is here! This year we are doing it differently, so fill your pints and pack your bags, because we are going on an overnight to Traverse City! We are renting a 28 passenger bus, visiting breweries on the way up, all over town and on the way home. The price per person (member and non-member) is $115. This will cover the bus and your overnight stay. We may even tie in some wineries if time permits.
How does the hotel work? In order to keep the cost where it is, there will be four people to a room. So be sure to bunk up with people you can snore with or spoon with. Chelsey will need to know who you are rooming with prior. We only have 7 rooms booked! Bus information: Again in order to keep the cost where it is we changed from the standard 55 passenger to a 28 passenger bus. There is no bathroom on the bus. So round up your drinking buddies or drag your gal along, because we need to FILL the bus! We will have a more detailed itinerary with the breweries we're visiting soon.
