The name Dames and Dregs may mean nothing to most people though those whom attended the first female powered brewing festival in Atlanta will most likely be hearing it on an annual basis. For, it is the title of the first ever festival to showcase the female presence in the brewing industry. As such, the festival focuses attention on women and craft beer.
By empowering the female population to create and consume craft beers, the festival presented a number of different craft and micro-brews. In addition, a community discussion related to the business and success in brewing also took place. Whereas, according to one female brewer, Zuri Coleman from the Second Self Brewing company in Atlanta, the entire festival was a breath of fresh air compared to the many festivals in the city which focus more on the bro culture each year.
Dames and Dregs and females working in the brewing industry in Atlanta and elsewhere are showing the importance of a presence in craft brewing. In fact, a national organization known as the Pink Boots Society is a group of females involved in the brewing industry. While there were only sixteen members initially when the group was founded in 2007, membership has now grown to over twenty four hundred nationwide. As such, females from all over America have shown a clear interest in becoming more involved in the industry over the last decade.
The names provided to the craft beer created by these individuals is also quite interesting. For example, Sufferin Til Sufferage in honor of the women's right to vote is among one of many which focuses on the history of the female population. In this case, the craft beer was created by two female brewers, one from Second Self and another for New Realm, both located in Atlanta.
When Zuri started working at the Second Self Brewery in 2015, there were only two other women working in the industry in Georgia. Now, there are new women becoming involved and working in the industry on an almost monthly basis. As a result, Atlanta is now one of a number of cities to host 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.
A long time dream come true, the Porter Bar which in opened in 2008 was opened with the hopes of attracting as many women as men to the establishment. Although, while hoping more women would acquire a taste for beer, especially those crafted by women, that still seems to be a challenge. While this is the case, the bar does now have a customer base which appears to be an almost equal split among the male and female population.
While challenges still exist, one of the most important is to get more of the female population to at least taste, if not drink, craft and micro-brews. For, while most males are accustomed to drinking corporate brews, females tend to focus more on mixed-drinks and wine. As such, women now working in the industry are working hard to come up with different types of craft beer and associated titles which will garner the interest of the female population, not only in Atlanta but around the world.
