BOTL Info

BOTL is a club that was founded as a means for our members to educate themselves and others about brewing beer, ciders and meads. We are all in this hobby as like minded individuals that have a thirst for knowledge and an appetite for an enjoyable time. Most of us are from Holland, MI and the surrounding communities. The club is open to the public, so anyone that has an interest is encouraged to participate.
For more information about our fine organization please email us at http://brewersonthelake@gmail.com/
