FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day is Nov. 2
Boulder, Colo., October 25, 2002The American Homebrewers Association
(AHA) will tap off the fourth annual Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day
Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002.
The AHAs 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 AHAs 24-page
introductory guide to homebrewing, and AHA promotional materials to sites
registered before Oct. 23.
