Big Brew 2026

AHA BIG BREW

AHA Big Brew is the annual celebration organized by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) to honor National Homebrew Day. The event is held each year on the first Saturday in May, serving as a global gathering for homebrewers to brew beer together, share recipes, and celebrate the hobby.

Big Brew is back at PlanetTim in Old Irving Park this year. We’re gonna brew approximately 14 gallons of Mild. Right now it looks like a pin of the same Mild will be available for tasting, along with the usual stuff.
