Another great Sweet Home Brews is in the books!
This annual event, hosted and organized by RMHCA’s Junior Board, brings together some of the best Southeastern craft breweries in one place for a fun night that supports RMHCA’s mission. And the voter’s choice award gives one deserving brewing big bragging rights and a traveling trophy until the next Sweet Home Brews!

This year’s event was hosted at Birmingham’s beloved Pepper Place and the weather couldn’t have been better for some outdoor fun.
