I'm the VP of a local homebrewers guild.  4 years ago, we had a homebrew store and a thriving community.  Probably 20 people a meeting, tons of brewing, compititions.  

After COVID, the homebrew store closed, no one wanted to show up.  So after COVID settled, we decided to host a meeting again at someone's apartment complex community space.  I was elected VP, another guy that just moved into our area and new to the hobby without a wife and kids got voted as President.  

We are struggling to get more than 4 people to show up a month.  How do we bring back homebrewing to our local county?

Do you have any craft breweries around you that you could meet at?  Around here, some of the brew clubs host a "learn to brew" day, which is facilitated by the brewery/tap room..  They have fliers and advertise it a month or so before the event.  It provides exposure to how to brew, and you can generate extra foot traffic by people just coming in for a cold beer, and decide to hang around and see what it's all about.  I see it as a win/win for the club, as well as the brewery, which exposes people to different beers they otherwise wouldn't try.

A lot of the breweries host brew club meetings around here..  they usually hit a different place every month.
