Howell is famous for the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, an
event put on every year with the Howell Chamber. This year’s event is June
26-28 and we are excited to be a part of it! You see, we are sponsoring the balloon Sunrise!
This is a local favorite and we couldn’t be happier!
Throughout the week of balloonfest we are going to have some
fun things planned! First of all, we made a special beer for the event, Night
Glow Black Lager. It is lagering right now as I type. (Definition of Lagering:
Cold storage, effectively for a beer to clear up and provide time for the
flavors to meld together appropriately.) Night Glow will be released the
Thursday before the balloonfest (Mug Club members will probably get a taste of
it before then even!).
We are going to have two different Beer ‘n Brushes sessions
to paint the Sunrise balloon (or whatever other balloon your heart desires) on
canvas. The Ceramic Studio etc has been
coming down to help us paint wonderful things ever since we opened and now we
get to paint this beautiful balloon! The two sign ups are Thursday, June 25 and
Sunday, June 28.
Oh, and did we mention Barlow’s BBQ will be coming in
Saturday? BBQ sold in house! Their meat is
tender and smoky how it should be, and the sauces kick! We are also particularly
fond of their coleslaw, which is so very different than any other.
Howell has a few professional balloonists right in town and thus
we had the opportunity to meet the balloonists of Marti. Dayna got to go on
a hot air balloon ride with them! Check out the footage!
We are excited for the Balloonfest! Are you?! What are you
looking forward to the most?!
