Learn to Homebrew Day

HomebrewingEveryone has to start somewhere.  Saturday is Learn to Homebrew Day.  It was established by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in 1999 to encourage homebrewers to introduce their non-brewer friends and family to the wonderful hobby of homebrewing.  Learn to Homebrew Day has since become a worldwide one-day celebration including demonstrations, events, tastings, educational efforts, and contests.  Whether you’ve been homebrewing for a while or have never touched hops in your life, there’s an event for you on Saturday.

Events for Learn to Homebrew Day:

  • Grain to Glass, 1611 Swift St, North Kansas City, 64116, is partnering with Cinder Block Brewery, 110 East 18th Avenue, North Kansas City, 64116, to help homebrewers with their next brew.  Once you brew your wort in the parking lot of Grain to Glass, take it to Cinder Block to pitch it with their Chico yeast.  10am – 4pm.  Event details.
  • Apex Brew Wares, 4380 S Noland Road, Independence, 64055, is hosting a demonstration in their parking lot from 11am until 5pm.  They welcome you to bring your own rig so you can join in on brewing.  Event details.
  • KC Nanobrews is also having a homebrew demonstration.  From 2pm until 7pm, learn with some of the best homebrewers in Kansas City.  Event details.
  • Not necessarily for Learn to Homebrew Day, but The Pitch is having their annual Crafts & Drafts at the Uptown Shoppes, 3600 Broadway, Kansas City, 64111.  Over 25 beer vendors will be in attendance, so you can ask them how they got started with brewing.

If you don’t feel like getting out or brewing yourself this Saturday, celebrate by drinking a beer!
