Merrimack Valley HomeBrew Club is comprised of 40 enthusiastic homebrewers who constantly work to improve their craft. Some members have brewed for nearly 25 years, while others are just getting started in this fun and rewarding hobby. Homebrewing skills range from novice to intermediate to expert. Once a month, club members meet to sample their latest creations where constructive feedback is provided. This collaborative club has one goal in mind, and that is to brew the best beer in the region!
