An article was published in a regional craft beer rag called Great Lakes Brewing News. It's a couple of weeks old at this point.

In it, the author, blasted the idea of equality for women in beer and the #metoo movement. It was loaded with over the top sexist concepts that were disturbing to read.

It got a lot of negative attention, especially from women. And rightfully so.

After the backlash and lost advertising partnerships it came out that it was an attempt at satire.

Here's the problem: well executed satire comforts the burdened and burdens the comfortable.

It's not funny to cast yourself as a victim of a movement meant to give voice to victims. That goes for gender and race.

To balance that darkness, we thought this was a good opportunity to cast a light on women in beer.

Back on Oct 31, 2017 we sat down with three amazing people to have a discussion about gender in craft beer.

This episode is a re-airing of our conversation with:

Kathy Davis who at the time was CEO, Head Brewer @ Abby Of The Holy Goats Brewing

Jessica Miller: Marketing Manager @ Reformation Brewing

Zuri Coleman: a Brewer @ Second Self Beer Company
