PR-Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day is Nov. 2 Boulder, Colo., • October 25, 2002—The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) will tap off the fourth annual Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002. The AHA’s Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day is an international effort to introduce people to the homebrewing hobby and establish relationships with local homebrew supply shops. Over the past three years, this event has brought in more than 400 new homebrewers to the hobby. "Teaching a friend to homebrew is the best service a homebrewer can do for the hobby,” said AHA Director Paul Gatza. “When a current brewer brings new brewers into the hobby, the entire beer community improves. The local shop receives more business and can provide fresher ingredients and better equipment selection. The local homebrew club has more potential members. And the brewing community receives more experienced, knowledgeable beer enthusiasts who can spread the word and point others toward better beer.” To celebrate this event, the AHA encourages homebrewers to teach their non-brewing friends how to homebrew, register their brewing site on www.beertown.org, take non-brewing friends to their local homebrew shop to buy ingredients and have fun homebrewing. The AHA also encourages all registered site participants to fill out the remittance form on www.beertown.org after this event to help track the number of event participants. The AHA will mail free copies of Zymurgy for Beginners, the AHA’s 24-page introductory guide to homebrewing, and AHA promotional materials to sites registered before Oct. 23.
