I first heard of this on Basic Brewing Radio, a podcast dedicated to home brewing. (excellent and recommended) Many listener’s wrote in, from Alabama to Autralia, giving their perspective on the definition of “home brewer” and “craft brewer”. I had no idea there was a different perception in different parts of the world. It seems, at least in Australia, that a home brewer is someone who uses kits to make some alcoholic beverage. A craft brewer is someone at home who tries to make good beer.

In the U.S., at $0.25 a can of Bud Light, there is no reason to just try to make an alcohol beverage at home. If you brew beer at home in the U.S., you are trying to make “better beer.”

Your definitions of “home brewing” vs “craft brewing” hold true here in Ireland, and in the UK as well. Where is it you found it different (just so, while seeking craft beer abroad, I don’t find myself sitting down at a stranger’s kitchen table asking what he has on tap this month)?
