Kablooe Design was formed in May, 1991 and has been doing product invention, design and engineering for companies in the Twin Cities ever since. To celebrate this achievement, Kablooe held an open house at their office in Blaine. Informal and focused on fun, Kablooe brewed their own summer wheat beer for the occasion, and enjoyed a time of relaxation and refreshment with old and new friends.
