Learn about the history of women and beer! Beer journalist and author Tara Nurin visits with her book A Woman's Place is in the Brewhouse. Stop by for a special beer tasting by a local brewery, a Q&A session, and a reading with Tara.
It’s women, not men, who’ve brewed beer throughout most of human history. Their role as family and village brewer lasted for hundreds of thousands of years—through the earliest days of Mesopotamian civilization, the reign of Cleopatra, the witch trials of Medieval and Renaissance Europe, and the settling of colonial America. A Woman’s Place Is in the Brewhouse celebrates the contributions and influence of female brewers and explores the forces that have erased them from the brewing world.
