Beer has long been a special beverage that binds people together into a community of shared interests, passions, and memories. It has a more hidden, complicated past than what is commonly known. From celebrated goddesses to ancient female brewers to witches to male dominated commercial brewing, beer and brewing has a long history in which women have played a significant role. The history of brewing beer and women’s role in it, has long been overlooked.
My project Origin Brewing Co. strives to bring the significance of women in brewing to the forefront, challenge gendered perceptions of beer, and celebrate our contributions to the beer world. Interweaving unique histories, communities, and stories, it is collective that welcomes and praises women’s place in the beer world. By sharing our stories, we make a beverage that finds a place amongst your own enduring memories with the people that mean the most.
