That’s the audio version of what’s killing Homebrew ready for your morning commute!

Is homebrewing really in decline? In this episode of The Hop Addition, we take a critical look at recent claims that the homebrew hobby is dying. From rising costs and changing drinking habits to competition from craft breweries and shifting lifestyles, we explore the factors shaping the future of homebrewing.But it’s not all doom and gloom—this is also a celebration of why we brew, what keeps the community strong, and how the next generation of homebrewers can keep the hobby alive and thriving.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the state of homebrewing and what’s next for the craft.
