The homebrewing hobby is seeing a notable decline, with American Homebrewers Association membership dropping from 46,000 in 2018 to 23,000. Factors contributing to this reduced interest include the abundance of high-quality craft beers and possible post-pandemic drop-off in new brewers. Notably, increasing female participation and leadership within the homebrewing community could help revitalize interest, emphasizing the need to break down barriers for women entering the hobby.
"There is no single answer to why interest in homebrewing...has fallen. However, there are many potential factors influencing the receding interest in the hobby."
"The steady decline in membership and participation leads many to wonder how the homebrewing hobby can be saved...by breaking down barriers and encouraging more women to brew their first batch."
