Two events on the near horizon to talk about today:
1. Raft and Craft – Joy and Bob have an Oregon Craft Beer Trip. Sweet! Raft on the gorgeous Rogue River, enjoy company of other fun folks, savor quality Ninkasi craft beer and stay in cozy lodges. Seems pretty complete.
We leave the 18th of July, return the 20th and Joy has all the details - contact her here.
2. 4 Daughters Irish Pub is starting their own beer group – the inaugural event is this Wednesday, June 23rd – open to all genders. We’ll be a hosting a tasty Beer & Cheese Fondue pairing. Mmmmmmmm! A classic combination – call them here for your tickets.
Get out and support the brewers of your neighborhood, region, and the world.
Beer makes the world go round in some very lovely ways.

GABF Day 3
Sep 26, 2009 Beer & Other Edibles, Events, craft beer
So far, it’s been a jammed packed festival. As always, it’s extremely dynamic, busy and fun. My conundrum is this.
There is SO MUCH information to share that I’ll need to pass it along, parcel it out gradually. Julia, Jill, Bradley, Chris, Gary, Nancy, Andy, Paul, Charlie, Mark, Erin and all the rest…what an incredibly engaged and amazing group of people.
Media Luncheon, Farm To Table, tasting, meeting, connect, Pints for Prostates, PBS, Siebel, etc. Whew!
So today’s tidbit is this.
The festival increased its floor space by 46% this year. When cruising the first night, Thursday, it felt bigger and we noticed right away.
- The aisles are wider and more accommodating
- The congestion in front of the can’t-miss-this-beer booths easier to navigate due to increased space
- And in general an excellent change
More beers, more space, more revelers, more people enjoying beer.
Having been on the other side of the booth in the past, I’d venture a guess the breweries really appreciated the extra space too.
More soon.
Focused On Kansas City
Jul 16, 2009 Events
Today is the 2nd day of a series of events in Kansas City for WomenEnjoyingBeer. After an announcement posted on the Brewers Association Forum asking for volunteers, willing breweries and other enthusiasts who may be interested in participating, here we are.
WEB will be collaborating with Boulevard Brewing for a focus group, hosting a private event (tasting pairing/recreational – group of friends), and collaborating again – this time with Gordon Biersch for a focus group.
Looks to be a fabulous line up!
Deidre with a good beer
A hearty, glass raised thank you to all who indicated interest, offered to collaborate or help, and enthusiastically are wanting to further the idea of real women drinking beer.
The response speaks to the fact that there are lots of engaged people – professionally and personally – who are interested in women & beer.
Let’s recruit more.
KC is a big beer town in many ways and I am very excited to be there. We’ll be back in fact in September again – so if you missed it this time, get in touch, tell me how you want to work together – business wise or personally.
Look for St. Louis or your city soon as well as men’s focus groups. Tell me what you want and we can make it happen.
