Curious about making beer?

Come join Brew Free or Die, New Hampshire's oldest and largest homebrew club. We meet once a month, and with club members having expertise in making beer, cider and mead, it is the perfect place to learn this craft. In addition to our meetings, Brew Free or Die (BFD) also holds competitions (like NERHBC or small club comps held at meetings), partakes in Big Brew Day (when we meet at a member's home and all brew together) and is present at the Homebrewer's Jamboree (where we share our beer with other homebrew clubs from New England).
