Happy New Year and best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2009!

Ludwig, the beer-drinking lion, and his staff, Paul Ruschmann and Maryanne Nasiatka, welcome you to BeerFestivals.org, THE place to get info about festive places to drink beer.

2009 is going to be a great year for the Beer Festival Calendar. We already have 153 festivals listed with many, many more to come. Our final festival count was 822 for 2008 and the site had over two million hits again. We've got a new site design in the works so stay tuned for bigger and better things.

If you're from Michigan or know someone who lives there, may we recommend our book, Michigan Breweries. We traveled the length and breadth of the state and visited all of its breweries. And yes, we sampled the beer as well. As a morning talk-show host in Detroit was fond of saying, "it's a dark and dirty job, but someone had to do it." And we're glad that it was us.

Michigan Breweries is a comprehensive guidebook that includes the story behind each brewery, info about the brewer, and essentials about the beers brewed there. We even tell you our "favorite pick." Find out why Michigan is truly "The Great Beer State." Get your copy today! And banish any thoughts about the contents becoming obsolete. We also have a site dedicated to listing major updates so you'll always have the latest info available for your beer travels.

Keep drinking microbrew and visiting beer festivals!
