You know I tend to go on about how brewing companies see women. Over the years, beer marketing was strikingly misogynistic. For a long time it was mostly the big companies although lately I've noticed a few so called craft brewers breaking out the bikinis.
But, we're not here to talk about that. This time it was homebrewers. Like most things beer, women tend to be in the minority when it comes to homebrewing. Even so, there are lots of female homebrewers out there and many of them make some great beer. However, according to the organizers of the Lake Hayes A&P Show in Queenstown, New Zealand when it comes to homebrew competitions, the ladies need to stay at home.
It was Rachel Beer who discovered this when she tried to enter the competition. "Blokes-only" was the answer she received. Her response was perfect. "Who cares if I have or haven't got balls? At the end of the day, a home brew is a home brew."
Classy move, boys.
