This will be the first annual Women's Brew Day and our homebrew club saying about time! I just read an article about the female market being the one that is going to drive craft beer sales over the next few years. Women need to be aware of how diverse craft beer can be and it isn't just aggressive, angry young men or cantankerous old farts who grumble and won't try anything new. Craft beer can be just as delicate and complex as wine, and as my wife always likes to point out:
'There is always food!"
This is taken directly from the homebrew club's MeetUp site:
“FOR ANY WOMAN WHO EVER WANTED TO BREW HER OWN BEER… Or, anyone, male and female, who wants to learn about home brewing craft beer.”
Come and learn from women brewers as they demonstrate how to brew a craft beer. You can taste a variety of home brewed craft beer, participate in the brewing demo’s, learn about the brewing techniques, materials and ingredients involved in creating a craft beer. This event is for all members. Everyone is encouraged to show, bring a pot-luck and some great home brew. Come out and support the women of the club as they demonstrate brewing techniques and help other women learn about craft brewing. We will be expecting people outside of the club to be showing up as we are using the local press to advertise for us. It would be great to enlist some more new members!
