Sexism In The Beer Industry

Sexism In The Beer Industry

Angry & Sad About The State Of Our Industry

In the same week I shared an article where I said there’s a great sense of community in the industry and it’s “a very wholesome environment” something quite the opposite and very significant was occurring.

The past couple of weeks have seen the brutal reality of sexism in the craft beer industry come to light.

Although the year started with the obvious low of Lockdown 3.0 and the unexpected surprise of a break in! It also brought the gratitude of raising £1,114 for Refuge as we held a 4th birthday fundraiser in lieu of us not being able to sink a few celebratory pints together and the absolute honour of being featured in Waitrose Magazine as 1 of the 5 “inspiring women making a splash in the drinks industry”!

What A Year For Pints & Perfect Moments!

What A Year For Pints & Perfect Moments!

What a year 2020 was. It was brutal but your support has been nothing short of remarkable. We wouldn’t have survived the Rona-Coaster without the Hanwell Massive and I’m eternally grateful for the community we’ve built and cannot wait for the day when I get to throw the giant thank you party I have imagined hopefully in my head when I’ve allowed myself to dream of that light at the end of the tunnel.

Pints & Perfect Moments - #3

Pints & Perfect Moments - #3

Well this is an incredibly late third instalment of Pints & Perfect Moments! I’ve re-read the last one that went out at the beginning of March pre-lockdown and it feels like an absolute lifetime ago! I started that one off saying it felt a bit needless to be throwing together a blog pretending it’s business as usual and even made a light-hearted joke about the worst challenge for the business yet to come. Oh the unknown naivety of it all back then!!
