The Love of Beer

Last week two points of controversy erupted regarding women and beer. The debate once again flared up about women’s beer tastes, marketing towards women, and gender-offensive labeling of craft and non-craft beer. I’ve been writing about this for some time now, but the very same day I was disheartened by finding a new beer “marketed specifically towards women” I also found something that made my heart soar with pride – a movie about women and craft beer.

The State of Women & Craft Beer

This week, coincidentally marks the fourth anniversary of my beer blog, The Beer Babe’s Brew Reviews. The four years have gone by very quickly, and I’ve seen a ton of changes even in that relatively short stint as a craft beer writer and blogger. In celebration of both the anniversary and American Craft Beer Week, I want to offer this “State of the Union” address. Where are we? Where have we come, and where is there still room to grow?
