Heart of the Valley Homebrewers Is Participating in Worldwide Day Dedicated to Teaching Homebrewing

November 3, 2007 is the American Homebrewers Association's (AHA) 9th Annual Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day and we are participating in this year's celebration.

Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day is an international event celebrated each year on the first Saturday in November with the goal of introducing people to the homebrewing hobby and establishing relationships with our local homebrew supply shop and our homebrew club. We invite anyone who is interested in learning how to homebrew on Saturday, November 3.

CALL 541-971-8909 or email vonhowie@msn.com for the details.

In 2006, 1,200 participants brewed 2,200 gallons on Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day at 51 sites worldwide (including sites in Canada, South Africa, Nigeria, England, Indonesia, and United States). This year, the AHA expects even greater participation.

"One of the great things about homebrewers is they are happy to share their knowledge and to pass on the joy that they find in homebrewing to others," states Gary Glass, the director for AHA, "that's really what Teach A Friend To Homebrew Day is all about."

Homebrewing is a hobby that is increasing in popularity and something that almost anyone 21 years and older can enjoy. Homebrewing is a rewarding but easy hobby - anyone who has a kitchen can do it. The equipment and ingredients needed are less expensive than most people think.
