Twin Cities is home to the St. Paul Homebrewers Club, the AHA's
Homebrew Club of the Year for two year's running. This promises to be
another record breaking year, and a conference not to be missed!
What is the
American Homebrewers Association (AHA)
National Homebrewers Conference?
The National
Homebrewers Conference is a fun,
educational gathering
designed to enhance homebrewers' brewing skills and knowledge and
increase homebrewing camaraderie. Special seminars and events cater to
beer enthusiasts and amateur brewers of every level.
15 Minutes of Fame!
More like 60 seconds, but here's our old President on Channel

Merrill Lincoln Lager Barleyfest
Our club's booth
was a hit at Merrill's Lincoln Lager Barleyfest. They invited
us back for next year!
All of our beers
were well accepted. It was fun teaching people about beer and
opening minds serving a Belgian Kriek and smoked porter.
People were really surprised. We also had a bucket of fresh
hops Greg and I picked yesterday morning. Lots of people
curious about these.
Thanks again to
Greg, Dick, Jeff, and Scott for the beer. And thanks to Jeff,
Greg, and Susen for helping with the booth yesterday.
