The name Dames and Dregs may mean nothing to most people though those whom attended the first female powered brewing festival in Atlanta will most likely be hearing it on an annual basis. For, it is the title of the first ever festival to showcase the female presence in the brewing industry. As such, the festival focuses attention on women and craft beer.
The festival, aimed at empowering the female population, presented a number of craft brews created by women along with a community discussion related to business and brewing. In addition, according to one brewer from Atlanta's Second Self Brewery, the event was much different and provided a breath of fresh air compared to other festivals in the area which are organized, promoted and sponsored by a rather bro culture.
Females working in the industry are now showing the importance of the female presence when it comes to creating craft and micro-brews. In fact, the Pink Boots Society, a group of female brewers from around the country was founded in 2007 by sixteen women. While that number may seem small, it is interesting to note the membership has now grown to 2,500 members in just over a decade.
Another interesting aspect of these female brewers is the name given to the products which are created. For example, one double IPA is titled Sufferin Till Sufferage, a brew created by two female brewers from different brew houses, Zuri Coleman of Second Self and Christine Stevens of New Realm Brewing Company.
When Coleman first started working at Second Self in 2015, only two females were working as brewers in the state. Now, more females are becoming involved in the industry on a regular basis. As a result, the city of Atlanta is one of a few which now host a local chapter of the Pink Boots Society.
The co-owner of a bar called the Porter Beer Bar in the city now has over 800 beers in stock. While this is the case, most are still related to the corporate brewing industry. Whereas, the bar also stocks several micro-brews and beers which have been crated by women in the local and regional brewing industry.
When the Porter Bar in Atlanta first opened in 2008, a long time dream had been fulfilled. For, the purchasers and co-owners wanted to provide a place where men and women could both enjoy a good cold beer. As a result, the clientele now represents almost a 50/50 split between male and female customers.
While there are still obstacles and challenges for female brewers, one of the biggest appears to be to create an interest among the female population when it comes to drinking craft beer. As such, those working in the industry continue to create interesting brews and titles in hopes of attracting these individuals. For, while most males have always been drawn to beer, most often corporate labels, the majority of females have gone in the other direction towards drinks such as Cape Cods, Cosmos, Hurricanes and Long Island Ice Teas.
