FemAle Brew Fest is a craft beer festival for ALL beer lovers (men included) … the festival is not just about serving beers. This beer festival is a platform highlighting and featuring female beer experts and brewers in the beer industry from a wide range of breweries, offering an opportunity to learn about, and taste the different types of beers they brew – all while listening to the sounds of a bevy of local female dj’s and exploring the artisanal marketplace of female-owned businesses.
FemAle Brew Fest will include beers brewed especially for the festival and featured beers from the Pink Boots Society Alaska Chapter, and attendees will be able to sample these beers and others from 27 breweries, one meadery, a tea-infused cocktail mixer, and a myriad of women-owned wine brands.
This is the first time the festival will have participation from Alaska, with Pink Boots Society Chapter member brews from Denali Brewing Company, Cynosure Brewing Company, and Bleeding Heart Brewery. The festival founder also did collaboration brews with Yeasty Brews Artisanal Beers and Orchestrated Minds Brewing, carrying on the tradition of participating in the brewing process of creating a special beer for the festival with some of the participating breweries.
The festival has also opened up participation from other women-owned brands including Owl’s Brew and Tuscany Wines Imports. Owl’s Brew is a line of tea-infused cocktail mixers which can be paired with beer, vodka and other alcoholic beverages and Tuscany Wines Import provides importing, sales, and marketing services to Italian wineries and the brands featured at the festival will be all women-owned.
“A woman alone has power; collectively we are powerful,” says Frances Antonio-Martineau, FemAle Brew Fest Founder. “We need to get rid of the stereotype that women don’t support other women, and this festival is a demonstration of the positive change that can be accomplished when platforms are created to celebrate, collaborate, learn and inspire.
