Chit Chat / 📣 Introducing the National Hom...
Last post by Hingo - July 17, 2025, 05:54:13 PMHi all,
As many of you know, local homebrew clubs across the country have increasingly been using WhatsApp as the main way to stay connected, chat about brewing, organise meetups, and share the odd bit of brewing wisdom (or mischief 🍻).
To help strengthen links between clubs and bring the whole NHC community closer together, we've now launched a National Homebrew Club WhatsApp Community.
💬 What is it?
The WhatsApp Community brings together existing local club WhatsApp groups into one central hub. It doesn't replace your group, it simply connects it under a national banner, making it easier to:
- Share events and competitions
- Discover other clubs and meetups
- Get advice from a wider circle of brewers
- Buy/sell gear
- Stay up to date with national club news
How do I join!
Use this link from your phone, or scan the QR code below.
❓ FAQs
Will our group lose members or chat history?
No, everything stays intact. You're just connecting it to the wider network.
Is our group chat visible to everyone?
No, only members of your group can read the messages in that group.
Can we still run our group as normal?
Absolutely. This is just about creating a bigger, better-connected homebrew community.
Can anyone just join into our local club's Whatsapp group?
No, Local club groups remain restricted, only a local club admin can add people to the group. New members can apply to join from the community but must be approved.
📌 What About the Forum?
The forum isn't going anywhere! While WhatsApp is ideal for day-to-day conversation, the forum remains the best place for:
- Recipes
- Instructions and how-to guides
- Equipment advice
- Competition details
- Permanent reference posts
We're not replacing it. We're using both platforms together to build a more active and accessible homebrew community.
📣 If you're a group admin, or want to help connect your club, reach out here or contact one of the NHC WhatsApp Community admins.
Sláinte!

Underdog
Date:
Thursday 31st July 2025
Start time:
7.00pm
All new members welcome
If you have some brews for tasting, bring along ~1 Litre of each.
To show some thanks to our hosts for allowing us to drink home-brewed beers in their pub, it is customary to buy some drinks from the house.
