Oct. 16, 2003-The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) will tap off the fifth annual Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day Saturday, Nov. 1, 2003. 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 four years, this event has brought in more than 400 new homebrewers to the hobby. "Homebrewing is both fun and easy--everyone should try it. We encourage all homebrewers to share their love of homebrewing with their friends and neighbors and Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day is the prefect opportunity to do that," says Gary Glass, AHA?s project coordinator. 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. 22.
