A NOTE FROM JULIA HERZ

Hello there, BOMB homebrew club members. Congrats on also participating in the AHA Insurance Program for peace of mind and protection (and when 75% of club members are AHA members it’s free, with 39% of the club currently AHA members).
The latest on AHA:

• Here is an overview of the American Homebrewers Association and what we do on behalf of homebrewing and members.
• In addition to being a club member, please consider joining the AHA. New and renewing 1-year members get a free Brewers Publications book (up to $25 value) and unmatched reasons, recipes, and rewards to brew.
• Any account access questions don’t hesitate to call or email our membership team.
• Opt-in to get the AHA What’s Brewing Newsletter (membership not required).
• Please tag us on social when brewing @homebrewassoc!

AHA at GABF (October 10-12, Denver, CO)

• We will have many more details for this year’s member gathering in early summer, and we realize it’s not Homebrew Con and will miss hosting that in 2024. We need the chance to reimagine an annual conference that is less expensive to host and attend. In 2022 and 2023, we simply did not have enough attendees to cover the costs.
• Big picture, AHA at GABF will be a blast, a beer-filled, star-studded brewer (pro and homebrewer) event with more happening in beer than any other event in the U.S.
• Geographically, we held HBC in Pittsburgh in 2022 and in San Diego in 2023, so the middle of the country was a viable option. Plus, we get to announce the NHC awards in the hall of GABF on 10/10 (they will also be live-streamed).
• Please do put on your radar the AHA Bootcamp for Club Officers – Friday, October 11, 1:30 to 2:45, Colorado Convention Center
  • During this workshop, homebrew club officers from across the U.S. will provide an overview of various resources and best practices. Attendance will include members of the AHA Committee, homebrew club officers from representative groups, and seasoned club officers from long-standing homebrew clubs.

 
Cheers from Boulder, CO, and don’t hesitate to reach out direct,
Julia
