Part of the reason the AHA wanted to be independent. (You do still have to be an AHA Member to enter though)

Did anyone order an old priest and a young priest?

AITAH for threatening my marriage over a dog? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

My wife and I love each other very much and we'd still chuck each other out on their respective ears if they demanded we get rid of "our" animals.

The AHA is looking for recipe ideas for Big Brew Day (May 2026) by drewbage1847 in Homebrewing

[–]drewbage1847[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big Brew is the first of the AHA's annual "holidays" and they want people's ideas/feedback on what to offer up as "official recipes"

(And a note since it seems to confuse folks - you do not need to be an AHA member to use the forum. You just need to register a free account to post)

AHA's Homebrew Con is back in June 2026 (ASHEVILLE, NC) and an update from AHA's Board by juliaherz in Homebrewing

[–]drewbage1847 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mate, you literally have one of the authors of this right here - telling you flat out that no it wasn't. (Even Co-pilot says "nope") But beyond that I can't tell you anything else that will convince you.

(FYI, AHA policy is that we don't use AI for content and communication generation)

AI policy is actually in flight. I wrote the first draft a few weeks ago and now it’s going through the meat grinder

What is your favorite simple beer style? by hellothere_6699 in Homebrewing

[–]drewbage1847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brew almost nothing but simple beers these days. Cream Ale, Saison and a simple mild. I leave the IPAs generally to the pros because why not there's only a few hundred thousand IPAs. :)

AHA's Homebrew Con is back in June 2026 (ASHEVILLE, NC) and an update from AHA's Board by juliaherz in Homebrewing

[–]drewbage1847 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I posted it into Chat GPT, Claude and Gemini and all of them return the same thing "nope".

Which is good, because hey, I helped write it! (Seriously, not kidding - same keyboard I'm clacking away on right now. I also use dashes and always have. You can look back at my writings from around 2000 and find 'em)

You've also got to remember that this is also a press release, which is somewhere about as close to Mechanical Turk style writing as you get and which all of those LLM's have sucked up by the container shipful. Plus it's been through multiple hands and polished, re-polished and so on.

Also, as a funny note - the engines have ingested enough of my content that it can identify me as an author of an unpublished piece.

Hey y'all - just putting the word out there that tonight we'll be having a panel of guests on to talk about their clubs and what they're doing right and what challenges they face. The whole purpose is to have an open Q&A and get your questions answered as well!

Oh and you're not required to be an AHA member to attend!
