Big Brew

Big Brew is a worldwide event celebrating National Homebrew Day by brewing and giving brewing demonstrations. This is YOUR chance to observe and participate in the brewing of BEER.

In 1988, May 7 was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day. The American Homebrewers Association created Big Brew as an annual event to celebrate National Homebrew Day not only in the United States, but around the world. Big Brew is held each year on the first Saturday in May.

Last year, more than 10,500 gallons were brewed by almost 4000 participants at 242 sites on six continents worldwide.  Sites were registered in 42 states in the US, as well as in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Israel, Kenya, The Netherlands, Russia, and Uryguay.
