Debra heads to the Annual MEGA Hair of the Dog Party — the legendary gathering of the Michiana Extract & Grain Association (MEGA), a local community of passionate homebrewers. This is the very group where Debra has learned how to brew, so entering her first ever beer for the competition was extra special!The celebration was hosted by the awesome Niles Brewing Company📍 206 E. Main St., Niles, MI 49120Huge shoutout to owner Brandon Towsley for being such a gracious host. Brandon is not only an award-winning brewer but also a former MEGA member and he along with others were guest judges — so yeah… no pressure, right? 😅But guess what? Debra entered her Cherry Sour Beer in her FIRST ever competition… and took home 3rd place! 🥉🍒Way to go, Debra! We’re so proud of her jumping into the homebrew arena and absolutely crushing it. A massive thank‑you to everyone at MEGA and all the contestants. This year’s competition was no joke — every single brewer brought their A‑game. After judging wrapped up, we got to sample everything, and let’s just say… if you weren’t there, you seriously missed out. Before you leave, do yourself a favor and try the German Chocolate Stout at Niles Brewing Company. And when you stop in, tell Brandon…👉 “The Beer Kittens sent me!”🎥 Grab a cold one, hit play, and enjoy this behind‑the‑scenes look at a truly amazing community of brewers.
