 AMERICAN HOME BREWERS ASSOCIATION RALLY
March 10th 1-4pm
If it weren’t for Charlie Papazian and his efforts as homebrewing pioneer and founder of the American Homebrewers Association (AHA), we wouldn’t be here.
On March 10, from 1-4 PM, we’re doing our part for the homebrewing community by hosting a membership rally for the AHA, which is headquartered in Boulder.
Rally attendees will enjoy tours of our brewery and microcannery, a light meal, great beer, discounts on OBB beer and gear, and gallons of beer-blessed fellowship.
Best of all, the $33 entry fee gets you a year’s membership in the AHA and all the beery benefits that come with it. Already an AHA member? The fee gets you an additional year’s membership.
The event starts at 1 PM on March 10, see you there. Get more details on the AHA, homebrewing and craft beer at www.beertown.org.
