When it comes to Dames and Dregs, most people have no idea what people are talking about. However, when it comes to women and craft beer such as those in Atlanta's brewing industry, it means everything. For, it is the name of last year's first female focused beer festival which took place in the city.
Aimed at the empowerment of the female population in Atlanta, the festival presented different craft brews created by female brewers at local and regional breweries. In addition to the selection of craft beers, a discussion on brewing and business also took place. According to one brewer, Zuri Coleman from Atlanta's Second Self Brew house, the festival provided a nice escape from the majority of city festivals and events organized and produced by the 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.
These female brewers are not only serious about the brewing aspect but also when it comes to naming different brews. For example, one double IPA brewed by two female brewers, one a brewer from New Realm and another from Second Self is that of Sufferin Till Sufferage. While this is only one example, there are a number of others with interesting titles.
When Zuri started working at the Second Self Brewery in 2015, there were only two other women working in the industry in Georgia. Now, there are new women becoming involved and working in the industry on an almost monthly basis. As a result, Atlanta is now one of a number of cities to 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.
It is believed that the lack of a mature craft and micro-brew scene in the city has been extremely beneficial to women interested in the business. For, since the majority of bars and restaurants still primarily serve corporate beer, women actually have a better chance of getting product to market in Atlanta than in other areas.
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.
