The 39th annual American Homebrewers Association conference will be in Minnesota this year, June 15-17! 2010 was the first time it was here.
It’s a great conference, and it’s hard to describe the quantity of tasting opportunities. Clubs from around the country serve beer on club night, and breweries from around the country serve on pro night. The beer education available in the conference sessions is phenomenal. There’s a conference banquet, with beer. This conference sells out, and you need to be an AHA member or guest to attend.
Registration will open around March, so you have time to consider joining the AHA. More info at
