This panel discussion explores the positive impact of homebrewing on individuals and communities. This session will highlight how homebrewing as an avocation allows people to cultivate creativity, practice artisanship, and develop a deeper understanding of science, engineering, and the culinary arts, leading to a more well-rounded and fulfilled life. Homebrewing not only enriches the individual but also serves as a vital antidote to our society’s increasing isolation by fostering strong, diverse communities. Homebrew clubs, supported by organizations like the American Homebrewers Association (AHA), create spaces where people can form meaningful connections regardless of political or social differences. The discussion will also delve into the ways homebrewers leverage their craft to support social change and contribute to the greater good, such as, among concrete examples to be shared, philanthropic fundraising in partnership with community organizations.
