The North Texas Homebrewers Association (NTHBA) is a group of homebrewers living in North Texas (mostly, but not limited to, Dallas and northern suburbs). We are interested in making beer, mead, cider, wine, and other fermented beverages at home.

The Club Events link on the left sidebar discuss monthly meetings, club brewdays, and club parties.

How To Join

Membership is open to anyone meeting our high standards (like beer or like someone who does and pay dues).  Memberships are available at Homebrew Headquarters, The Winemaker's Toy Store or by contacting the club treasurer at any club event.

Non club members are welcome to attend any club event.  

Our newsletter, Livin' the Brews, is published monthly. You can read it online by clicking on the "Newsletters" link on the left.

Club history

Our club was founded circa 1983-1984. No one is sure exactly when. Meetings were held in a homebrew supply shop owned by Glen Mueller and Frank Brown (so that's where the Bluebonnet's Mueller-Brown Quality Award comes from!), located in the Olla Podrida shopping center (it's gone now). Some other names from early days: Jess Haupt, Carl Schneider, Dave Gilbo, and Herschel Gibbs.
