Bingo! Breweries Score on Game Night
Breweries across the country—from California to North Carolina—are using game nights to draw in diverse crowds, welcome new guests, and expand their communities. No matter what the game, many breweries have found that hosting game nights with offerings such as lotería, mahjong, or bingo extends a welcome to members of ethnic communities who may not have had a reason to visit the brewery before.

Every time an American Homebrewers Association (AHA) member gives away a homebrew, we are delivering the gift of sharing in ways that are unique and unmatched. Another way homebrewers give is by educating others. Sure, we’re each in it for the reward of learning, yet every time we share our knowledge, we, too, are giving—giving to the cause of the hobby of homebrewing.
Sharing knowledge is exactly what the AHA has been doing since 1978, and no doubt if you are a member, your homebrewing and beer appreciation are more rewarding than without.… Read the rest “Homebrewing for a Cause, and YOU Are Ours”

Homebrewing Makes Life More Delicious
Beer teaches us science, art, culinary exploration, innovation, geography, agriculture, and history/herstory. It teaches us about ourselves, and about each other. No wonder the hobby of homebrewing (the practice of fermenting at home) is and has been one of the driving forces for food and beverage.
Simply put, homebrewing makes life more delicious.
