Boulder, Colo. • October 24, 2023 — The American Homebrewers Association® (AHA) is delighted to announce that the 25th annual celebration of Learn to Homebrew Day is set for November 4, 2023. This nationwide celebration aims to demystify the art of homebrewing and provide valuable resources. 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, short for Single Malt and Single Hop, which use one type of ingredient.

Participating in Learn to Homebrew Day is easy—visit the AHA website to learn more. 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, 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.”
