The American Homebrewers Association has sponsored The Big Brew since 1988.  It is celebrated on the first Saturday of May each year.  What is it?  I’ll let the AHA words speak for themselves:

In 1988, May 7 was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day. The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) created AHA Big Brew as an annual event to celebrate National Homebrew Day around the world. AHA Big Brew is held each year on the first Saturday in May.

Anyone, even homebrew shops, can host and register a Big Brew event, so invite your friends and family, gather around the brew kettle and join in the global celebration of the greatest hobby there is—homebrewing!

So, fellow brewers, let’s support this ongoing effort to promote our passion!
