OVHA Chat

As a member of OVHA, are we members of AHA also, or are they a separate entity?

Thanks,

Both are stand alone entities.
AHA (American Homebrewers Association) is a separate entity from OVHA. Their membership gets you a subscription to Zymurgy, and discounts at participating breweries/brewpubs, and homebrew stores.
OUR benefits are much cooler. Monthly meetings with free sampling, a monthly newsletter, and opportunities to participate in many exciting beer festivals.

AHA also supports the continued legal efforts to keep homebrewing legal in the current 48 states, and keeps trying to convert the other two.

Not to mention you get spend time with Turoni's award winning brewer Jack Frey!
It don't get any better than that.

And they occasionally give advice to Homebrew Clubs who find themselves at odds with local bureaucracies.

The way I look at it, Zymurgy magazine justifies more than half my AHA membership fee. The balance is essentially a worthwhile PAC contribution.

Fortunately for me, I had Constitutional Law in college, liked it so well I took it twice even tho I didn't have to.
