The American Homebrewers Association’s Big Brew Day is almost here—are you ready? Because we are.
Big Brew for National Homebrew Day is the world's largest annual brewing day, when homebrewers everywhere brew on the same day and create the largest batch of beer ever.
Whether you brew one of this year’s official recipes or go with an old favorite, Big Brew is all about the joy, creativity, and community that define homebrewing. First, pick your recipe
This year’s official recipes bring a little something for every kind of brewer:
🍺 Monk’s Ration Trappist-Style Single
A crisp, golden Belgian-style ale with classic monastic character.
🍺 George and Aaron’s Pre-Prohibition Porter
Want to drink what George Washington drank? A smooth, historic porter with roast, rye, and old-school charm.
🍺 Dark Cellar Imperial Stout
A bold, pitch-black beast with layers of roast, chocolate, and darkness. Like being in an old dark cellar—in a good way.
📝 Or pick one of the thousands of our other homebrew recipes. It doesn’t matter what you brew, just that you do.
Then, get brewin’ on May 2
Big Brew is a great excuse to slow down, enjoy the process, and raise a glass to the hobby we all love. Brew solo, brew with friends, brew with your club. It all counts.
