Before tipping back the next glass of your favorite adult beverage, dream for a moment about what flavors, smells and colors would make the best brew. Think you know better than those chumps at Budweiser or the snobs at the micro-craft-vegan-brew pub? If so, it’s time to get off of the couch and make it happen. The Chicken City Ale Raisers, a homebrewers’ club based in Forsyth and Hall counties with nearly 40 members and hundreds of years of experience combined, will teach you the ins and outs of crafting your own beer this Saturday in Gainesville as part of 19th annual Learn to Homebrew Day.
