Society of Akron Area Zymurgists

We are a homebrew club based in Akron, OH that meets monthly to discuss homebrew styles, techniques, recipes, activities, and equipment. We try to have a local brewer or members of our club give lectures on beer and brewing related topics. More importantly, we meet to share our homemade brews. We find that by sampling many beers and talking with other homebrewers, everyone learns about making exceptional beer. We try to have a lot of socializing at each meeting. About 25-35 people attend a typical meeting which is held at a variety of venues. Check the events list to see where we are having upcoming meetings.

    SAAZ and SNOBs are coordinating this event to explore a few Akron area breweries. Everyone can hop in or off the crawl whenever is best for their schedule. We’ll have a bonus brewery to hit to cap off the day. To keep things simple, we will all drive separately!

    1-2:30 pm - Hoppin’ Frog: 1680 E Waterloo Rd, Akron, OH 44306. We’ll start the crawl at Hoppin’ Frog to have lunch and sample some of their amazing (and strong beers). Everyone is encouraged to try beer and have lunch so they’re fueled up for the rest of our crawl. The owner is a founding officer of SAAZ.
    2:45-4 pm - Eighty-Three Brewery: 1201 E Market St, Suite 110, Akron, OH 44305. Great beers; check the tap list. Often has SAAZ homebrewer collabs on tap.
    4:15-6pm - Akronym Brewing: Akronym Brewing, 58 E Market St, Akron, OH 44308.  Great beers (lagers, dark ales, cream ale, etc.) The food is a limited menu but very good. Brewer is a former SAAZ member.
