What happens when hop harvest meets regenerative farming?

In the July/August issue of Zymurgy, writer Melina Devoney heads to Eden Forest Collective in California to harvest fresh Cascade hops and explore how living soil, diverse crops, and regenerative agriculture can shape what ends up in your glass. Along the way, she digs into the fleeting magic of wet hops, the challenges of sourcing regenerative ingredients, and the role brewers can play in reconnecting drinkers with the farms behind their beer.

Hot take: let’s retire the “homebrewing is dying” conversation already.

The real message? The hobby is changing. Clubs are changing. The places we gather are changing. But homebrewing doesn’t need an obituary. It needs more people excited to brew.

Drew Beechum’s advice? Bring the positive vibes. Talk about why homebrewing is still ridiculously fun, why your club is worth showing up for, and why there’s plenty of joy and community to be found in the hobby.

Keep that momentum going and build a club people want to be part of. Watch the full Zymurgy Live: Homebrew Con Club Officer Bootcamp Findings for more.

Giving the AHA Assistant Brewer a new name and mascot design isn’t just about making things pretty. It’s about leaving your fingerprints on something built for the homebrewing community.

The AHA Assistant Brewer carries decades of homebrewing knowledge, pulling from years of Zymurgy archives, Homebrew Con seminars, and more. It’s a special boost for the seasoned homebrewers and a helpful guide for the newcomers.

Your idea could help give that knowledge a personality, a face, and a place in AHA history.

AHA members can submit a name, mascot design, or both by Sept. 8. Winners receive two Homebrew Con 2027 tickets.

From the Zymurgy® archive: clearer beer is possible.

In “Prosperity Through Clarity” from the July/August 2021 issue of Zymurgy®, Jason Simmons explains how homebrewers can chase that gloriously bright, photo-ready beer through better mash practices, vorlaufing, yeast management, and more.

Got a homebrew recipe you’d trust with a first timer?

Submit your recipe by Monday, Aug. 17 at https://buff.ly/Pv0m1GX

No recipe? No problem. We still want to see what you’re making. Send us photos of your brewing adventures, club shenanigans, clever setups, fermentation projects, and other good stuff from the homebrew universe.
