Host 1 - Hi all! This is Anne from KalamaBrew. Welcome to our live blog of the Michigan Winter Beer Festival at Fifth Third ballpark in Grand Rapids, MI.

KalamaBrew - It's sunny but cold today. The festival organizers just did the countdown to let everyone in the festival area at noon.

KalamaBrew - The festival is being held in the parking lot today instead of the bleachers surrounding the ball field, like last year. A great addition to this year's festival is a huge bonfire pit in the center of the festival area.
