The bar at Brewhouse & Kitchen, Bournemouth

 

Brewhouse & Kitchen is to host hundreds of women at 19 location on March 8 as part of its FemAle Brewing Experience Day.

Brewhouse & Kitchen marketing manager, Gail Bunn, says the rise of women in the industry can be credited to the skills it takes along with changing attitudes in society.

She said: “Women have greater ability to distinguish between high numbers of aromas and flavours, which is key to success in craft brewing.

“Along with this, beer companies are more aware of the importance of female beer drinkers and women now feel more comfortable to drink beer, attend pubs and contribute to the growth of the industry.

“We’re seeing this reflected in both our customer base and growth of women participating in our Brewing Academy, which fosters successful careers in brewing.”
