Club Night Guidelines

Club Night Sign Up

Club Night is Friday, June 23, 2023, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Club Night is “The Party” not to be missed! Club Night has a history of showcasing some of the finest homebrews from our amazing community of homebrewers.

Many clubs develop their booth around a theme. Be creative, and don’t worry about looking silly—the club next to you will look even sillier. Most bar owners would drool over these draught systems, and the costumes are not to be missed. Of course, if you want to share your beer without decorating or looking goofy, you’re just as welcome.

Cellar

  • Visit Beer Services for more details about delivering your beer to the AHA cellar.
  • No more than 20 kegs per club are allowed into the AHA cellar for Club Night.
  • If your club wants to bring more than 20 kegs, your club is responsible for storing and delivering them to your booth.
  • There is no minimum number of kegs you need to bring to participate. As few as 2 or 3 kegs are plenty for one club.
  • Cellar labels for your beer are required for any beer stored by the AHA Beer Services team. Order labels.
  • Only kegs scheduled for educational sessions or the Knockout Party on Saturday are allowed back in the cellar.
