On November 3, Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization (COHO) is hosting an American Homebrewers Association® (AHA) Learn to Homebrew Day event. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Monkless Belgian Ales. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Learn to Homebrew Day and the 40th anniversary of the AHA, which organizes the worldwide celebration.

Learn to Homebrew Day is an opportunity for homebrewers to draft their non-brewer friends and families to learn how to make their own beer. Hundreds of fun, educational events are held at homes, breweries, shops and clubs worldwide.

COHO invites anyone interested in homebrewing to stop by Monkless Belgian Ales, located at 20750 High Desert Lane in Bend, starting at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 3, 2018 to join the fun!

“A few weeks ago Jim (Brooks of COHO) asked if he could bring his system over to the brewery and brew in the parking lot for AHA Learn to Homebrew Day – I said absolutely, but why don’t you brew inside the brewery!” said Todd Clement of Monkless Belgian Ales. “I love supporting the local homebrewers, and after all, Monkless got its start in my garage, so why not? We talked a bit and decided to use it as an opportunity to brew a pilot batch for a new recipe I’ve been working on, a really big Belgian Dark Strong brewed on cacao nibs and fermented on raspberries. Ought to be a blast!”
