- May 1 Early Bird deadline ends for June 22-24 Homebrew Con, San Diego - Fermentation vacation time or call it a work trip. Either way we check the box. 2023 marks the 45th year as the world’s most robust homebrew gathering and competition to host amateur and pro brewers, judge several thousand beers in concert with Beer Judge Certification Program leadership, and attract the world’s leading homebrew and beer educators. Register here June 22-24, 2023 in San Diego | Homebrew Con. New this year is an Industry Coalition Meeting and a Homebrew Club Officer Bootcamp.
- May 5 deadline 2023 Radagast Club of the Year Award - Enter your homebrew club to win $1,000 ($500 to the club and $500 donated to a charity of the clubs’ choice). Go here Radegast Club of the Year | American Homebrewer's Association
- May 5 deadline 2023 Homebrew Shop of the Year Award - Homebrew Shop of the Year Award nomination process is open until May 5. One of the entrants who nominates the winning Homebrew Shop (picked at random) will receive a $1,000 gift certificate to that shop. The winning shop will also receive a pallet of Rahr- 2 Row Malt. Nominate here Homebrew Shop of the Year Award
- May 6 Big Brew - Speaking of Sierra Nevada and in honor of National Homebrew Day (declared by U.S. Congress!), 2023 Big Brew features Nearly Nirvana Pale Ale, a clone pale ale recipe by AHA Governing Committee member Crispy Frey. Brew it now, on May 6 or anytime of the year. All the deets and your custom bottle label are here. Big Brew for National Homebrew Day May 6, 2023
- May/June Zymurgy - Our latest issue just published. Have you been reading Zym lately? Digital version here Zymurgy Magazine | May/June 2023 and or print version mailed to those who subscribe.
- Government Affairs - Getting homebrewing legalized in all 50 states is one example of what can happen when your national organization works with state-based orgs. Today we stand ready to do the same for unified state efforts where homebrew clubs and state brewers guilds are in sync. Please get in touch with us if your club or state has active efforts.
