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.
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, there were very few females working in the industry. Now, more female brewers than ever before are working in local and regional breweries. As a result, Atlanta now has enough female brewers that it has established a local chapter of the Pink Boots Society.
One establishment, the Porter Bar which opened in Atlanta in 2008 fulfilled a long time dream for co-owners. For, the two always had a dream to provide a drinking establishment which would draw as many women as men. In order to meet such goal, the co-owners maintain a stock of over 800 beers, including a few micro-brews and beers crafted by female brewers.
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 challenges for females involved in the industry, one of the biggest is to get more female consumers to drink beer. For, most have been accustomed to drinking wine while male counterparts often prefer corporate or micro-brews. As such, those now working to create interesting brews and titles are hopeful that one or both will attract more female customers in the future.
