UNYHA - Upstate New York Homebrewers Association

The Upstate New York Homebrewers Association (UNYHA) is dedicated to sharing and broadening the appreciation of and knowledge about the brewer's art within its membership and the public at large, through regular meetings and special events, in accordance with its philosophy of informed, mature and responsible enjoyment of homebrewed and commercially brewed beer.

UNYHA has been around since 1979. While none of the original club members remain, some of our members have been around almost since the beginning, and new members join every year. Membership has often exceeded 100 people and is currently around 150, making us one of the larger homebrew clubs in the country. We are a diverse group; our numbers include many award-winning brewers, ciderers and mead makers, and we have a number of BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) judges in our ranks.
