Kalamazoo Beer Week was a blast, from the sold-out crowd at Snow Jog to all of our partners who held events. We hosted more than 16 dinners, beer tastings and other events at the Eccentric Café and across Kalamazoo. Thanks to everyone who came out and participated. Above are photos from all the events, and here is a video highlighting the week:

A Ferris Wheel, great beer from some great breweries, great people, fireworks and so much more. Back in September, we celebrated our 30th Anniversary at Homer Stryker Field, home of the Kalamazoo Growlers. Here's a video recap of our Funvitational Beer Festival from our friends at Rhino Media.  Enjoy.  PS - Do you have photos from Funvitational that you would like to share with us? Send them our way.

Ever since we announced our Planets Series, a certain beer (Uranus) has inspired some pretty interesting comments. We’ve been keeping track and made the video below to share some of our favorites.  Enjoy.

As Oberon fans celebrate the release of our summer seasonal, we are proud to announce that a new way to enjoy the taste of summer will be heading their way soon. Twelve-ounce cans of Oberon, packaged in 12-packs, will be released later this summer. They will feature the same look of our 16 oz. Oberon cans. “Cans can go more places than glass and it’s a much more convenient packaging option – one that we believe our fans will really enjoy,” said Laura Bell, Bell’s Vice President. Bell’s Oberon Ale is currently available on draught, in bottles (6-packs and 12-packs) and in 4-packs (16 oz. cans). Mini-kegs will also return this summer and will feature a paisley design. The new 12-ounce cans will be available across all areas Bell’s currently distributes to. Oberon is available year round in Florida, Arizona, southern California, southern Alabama and Puerto Rico.  

205 homebrewers, their families and friends plus quite a few local companies joined us at this year's competition kick-off and expo. Entry bottles are due to the General Store by Oct. 25. Winners will be announced on All Stouts Day at the Eccentric Cafe on Nov. 2. Below is a time lapse of the actual wort giveaway. Thanks to everyone who joined. Looking forward to seeing (and tasting) the entries this year!
