Rachel and Rebecca are back to talk about liquids again for some reason? Listen in for an in-depth discussion of the history of beer-making as a strictly feminine task, the gendering of alcohol consumption, and their own lived experiences as women who like beer (or don't? Things get a little blurry this ep.)
Originally recorded March 24, 2021.
The original article that inspired this episode is available at Smithsonian Mag’s website.

There is also some interesting data in the Food Culture and Society article entitled Bottling Gender: Accomplishing Gender through Craft Beer Consumption.
