Homebrew Shop of the Year 2022 sponsor BSG Handcraft will select one random person who nominates the winning Homebrew Shop to receive a $1,000 gift certificate to that shop. The winning shop will also receive a pallet of Rahr- 2 Row Malt courtesy of BSG Handcraft.
The local homebrew shop plays an important role in our community, and not just as suppliers of ingredients and equipment. These small businesses serve as advocates for homebrewing and contributors to their local communities. Of the countless craft beer success stories today, how many of them started off as aspiring homebrewers with a visit to their local shop?
The Homebrew Shop of the Year Award aims to recognize the integral role that homebrew shops play in the homebrewing community.
Award Criteria
To win this award, AHA members will nominate homebrew shops that excel in the following criteria:
- Local homebrew community support
- Education
- Customer service & engagement

No one homebrew shop can win this award twice within a five year period.
