The First State Brewers, established in 1988, is an officially sanctioned club of the American
Homebrewers Association. The goal of the club is to provide homebrewers and beer enthusiasts with
a "semi"-organized means of increasing their skill, understanding, and appreciation of the art of
brewing. We also tend to have a pretty damn good time.
While originally established in Delaware, the club is regional in nature with members and
associate members from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and even Virginia. Our members
range from extract only to all grain brewers and even a few yeast ranchers. We are always
looking for new members and even just interested visitors to join us at our meetings.
At this website you will find lots of information about ourselves and our activities. We
also provide information about beer and brewing events in this region as well as a little humor.
Additions and updates will be ongoing so be sure to stop by often.

Support your local homebrew supply shop! How Do You Brew? is a brewing and winemaking supply store located in Newark, DE just up Paper Mill Road from Main Street (in The Shoppes at Louviers). From equipment to kits, this place has quite a selection for its size. Discount rates are available for larger quantity and bulk items, such as pounds of hops, and Joe and Marlana Gallo would be happy to special order large equipment for you as well! |

The new Twin Lakes Brewery in Greenville, DE just opened this past spring in 2006. The brewers had us out for a pre-opening tour which was fascinating. These guys have alot of energy, and they produce solid, flavorful beers. Hopefully our little homebrew club can develop a mutually benficial relationship with them! They've even been known to have homebrewers come in and assist on batches from time to time... It's killer. |
