AHA presents Learn to Homebrew Day this Saturday, November 4th



The American Homebrewers Association® (AHA) announces the 25th Learn to Homebrew Day. The date is set for November 4, 2023. It is a nationwide celebration that aims to demystify the art of homebrewing and provide valuable resources. To help beginners get started, the AHA offers a host of resources, which we share below.

For seasoned brewers and curious beginners alike, Learn to Homebrew Day offers an opportunity to learn, connect with fellow beer enthusiasts, and celebrate the hobby of brewing at home. For this year’s Learn to Homebrew Day, the AHA has selected two official SMaSH beer recipes (recipes utilizing a Single Malt and a Single Hop). Choose from a delicious SMaSH Sensory Blonde Ale or create a unique brew with Your First SMaSH Ale

Participating in Learn to Homebrew Day is easy—visit the AHA website to select a homebrew recipe and discover resources for homebrewers of all levels. With a focus on education, camaraderie, and creativity, this event has been a tradition for homebrewers since 1999. 

“Learn to Homebrew Day is all about fostering a sense of community and sharing the passion for homebrewing. It’s a day when experienced brewers can mentor newcomers and help them take their first steps into this exciting hobby,” said Julia Herz, executive director, the American Homebrewers Association. “The SMaSH recipes we’ve chosen for 2023 are both a fantastic starting point for anyone looking to explore the world of homebrewing or those looking to sharpen their skills.”
