Is HDA still alive?

Post by Carpe Potum »

Does anybody have a recent status of the Hobby Distillers Association? I was disappointed to see that their website has an expired SSL certificate and the Contact Form is broken.

Don't we really need this to continue? Even if retaining a lobbyist is not a near-term reality, keeping the association alive seems to be a worthwhile endeavor.

Can anyone here provide a way to get in touch with the Director of the Association? I'd like to help. Maybe we all can.

Makes me feel a bit funny about the 5 year membership I purchased.
Really thought they were going places.

Just got the contact info from the Gofundme.com page:
The HDA currently operates as a division of Brewhaus America ...

Sent an email to Rick inquiring about the status. It would be great to see this resuscitated.

Rick is on this forum, his username is Brewhaus. Maybe send him a private message with a link to this thread?
