American Homebrewers Association names seven up-and-coming homebrewing cities (did your beerburg make the list?)

November 15, 2016Keith Gribbins

 

boise, idaho
Wait, what city is that? Can you guess? It’s one of the seven below.

Homebrewers populate hamlets across America, but what cities generate a lot of homebrewing culture? San Diego? Denver? Cleveland? Yes, yes and yes, but also seven other cities you might not expect (unless you live there). The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) recently unveiled a list of towns across the United States where homebrewing is on the rise. How were these cities selected?

Science!

By examining a number of factors, including economic impact, proximity to craft breweries, homebrew clubs and membership, competition entries and more, the AHA identified seven budding areas for the fervor and fellowship of brewing at home. Drum roll, please…

The AHA list of up-and-coming homebrew hot spots:

  • Boise, Idaho
  • Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota
  • Nashville, Tennessee
  • Phoenix, Arizona
  • Rochester, New York
  • Tampa, Florida
  • Windsor, California

With an estimated economic impact of $1.225 billion, homebrewing is booming in America. A recent survey found that over three-quarters (78 percent) of homebrewers are more enthusiastic about brewing than they were three years ago. Here’s a quote from the press release:

“Craft brewing and homebrewing have long supported one another: a thriving craft beer community nurtures a healthy, growing homebrew culture, and vice-versa,” said Gary Glass, director, American Homebrewers Association. “Some cities are legendary for such pro-am symbiosis, while others are gaining well-deserved reputations as up-and-coming homebrew hot spots.”
