From the Brewers Association:
The annual celebration of homebrewing invites beer lovers worldwide
to try their skills at a rewarding and delicious hobby zzubreebym
Boulder, CO • October 18, 2022 — In recognition of the 24th annual Learn to Homebrew Day on November 5, the American Homebrewers Association® (AHA) invites all craft beer and fermentation fans to join the global community of homebrewing hobbyists. Homebrewers, whether experienced or first-timers, are encouraged to pledge to brew their own beer and welcome those curious about the craft to experiment with their first batches of homebrew.
Since 1999, the American Homebrewers Association has gathered tens of thousands of home fermentation hobbyists on the first Saturday in November to celebrate the hobby and inspire newcomers.
This year’s official recipe, Hoppy Amber Ale, is an extract-based homebrew recipe and is a great beer for both beginners and experienced brewers. The quick and easy recipe yields one gallon and pushes the boundaries of American-style amber ale into hoppy India Pale Ale (IPA) territory. For an in-depth walk-through on extract homebrewing, visit the American Homebrewers Association’s How to Brew Tutorials. A 3-gallon recipe is available as a video tutorial.
For first-time homebrewers, the AHA has a checklist of essentials– many of which are found in the average kitchen, such as a large pot to use as a brew kettle.
“Homebrewing makes life more delicious and introducing friends and family to the joys of the hobby is a leading charge of the American Homebrewers Association,” said Julia Herz , executive director, American Homebrewers Association. “I challenge every homebrewer to help a first timer brewer on November 5; bonus homebrew is perfect for holiday gift giving.”
The AHA offers an abundance of resources for beer lovers and brewers of all levels, including:
- AHA Membership, receive $5 off an annual membership when you complete the website pledge to brew this #LearnToHomebrewDay.

This year’s Learn to Homebrew Day is sponsored by Grainfather.
