Learn to Homebrew day is a national event promoted by the American Homebrewers Association. Our club hosts a local event for this day, in which many of our members brew a batch of beer at an announced location in order to teach visitors how to homebrew. We invite anyone who is thinking about getting into the hobby, as well as those who are actively brewing. It is a great opportunity to see the brewing process in person, be able to ask questions about the brewing process, see the many different brewing methods and equipment that are out there, and to hang out with many of our club members.
