Our own Otto’s Pub and Brewery has been nominated for the upcoming Martha Stewart American Made Contest. The contest hopes to showcase handmade, local products by people who have a “passion for quality craftsmanship and well-designed goods.”

Ten winners are chosen by the editors of the Martha Stewart Living magazine and are given American Made Awards. Additionally, six winners are voted on by the audience in unique categories with one grand prize winner who will get $10,000. The winners will be invited to showcase their goods at the American Made Workshop in New York City’s Grand Central Terminal Vanderbilt Hall on October 16th and 17th. Voting begins on August 26th.

“I read about the contest in my latest Martha Stewart magazine and decided to enter Otto’s,” manager Kelly Garthwaite said. “We are a family business and pride ourselves on all things local so it makes sense to take that a step further with American Made.”
