It might not seem like it, but there are a few different ways you can celebrate National Beer Day today. The annual April 7 holiday can be enjoyed by grabbing a cold one at the local bar, picking up a six-pack of your favorite beer at the corner store or by making your very own homebrew.

If you really want to make National Beer Day 2019 feel different than any other day of the week, consider the last option and give homebrewing a try. You might just discover a new hobby.

Here are five delicious homebrew recipes to start you off:

Jack o’Lupe IPA

Get in the Halloween spirit a bit — okay, a lot — earlier this year with this pumpkin beer recipe. With hints of pineapple and sage in the drink, it’s perfect for all-year consumption, especially springtime.

Winter Warmer Beer

If you’re not feeling the warmth of spring just yet and still need a beer that’ll warm you up, this is a great option. There are even a few different versions of the recipe to choose from, letting brewers tailor the malty concoction to their own liking.

Champagne Cider

If cider or bubbly’s more up your alley, then this combo of the two is the way to go. Make it yourself with this recipe, and enjoy the crisp apple flavor knowing you brewed it all on your own.

Ye Olde Moustachio Irish Dry Stout

St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone, but it’s never a bad time for this Irish Stout recipe.

“Beer In Hand” Pale Ale

When you’re just starting out on your homebrewing journey and collecting different recipes to try, it’s important to have a good, classic pale ale. Give this version a try, and then sit back and enjoy the light taste of the finished product.
