Thanks to The Brewing Network

The AHA would like to thank everyone involved in the 2009 National Homebrew Competition. Without the help of all the entrants, judges, stewards and volunteers this amazing competition could never be possible. The NHC remains the largest beer competition in the world, recognizing the most outstanding beer, mead and cider produced by amateur brewers.

Continued Growth for the NHC!
