Organised by Women in Beer, the community for women who enjoy good beer, the festival showcases and celebrates women working and leading the brewing industry.
This Festival begins at Cold Town House in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket on Wednesday 23 October, with a welcome evening, networking event, and musical performance. Women in Beer Founder Amélie Tassin will open proceedings, with brewers from Cold Town and Worthing’s Hand Brew Co. on hand for a Meet the Brewer takeover of the taps.
Women in Beer’s Crisp Malt – Industry Seminar returns on Friday 25 October with a distinguished line-up of experts and speakers leading a series of tastings and talks.
The day will start with Lallemand’s Technical Sales Representative, Alix Blease leading a session of Sensory Training. Taste and assess some of the most common faults found in beer and go through what causes them and how to prevent them happening. Level up your sensory evaluation skills and the language used to describe it.
In the afternoon, speakers from across the world of beer will lead a series of discussions, covering a range of topics central to the industry. Attendees will be able to take a deep dive into the world of beer judging, learn tactics for quality and consistency, as well as hear about community and mental health in brewing.
Already confirmed as part of the line-up are Brewers Association American Craft Beer Ambassador for Europe Lotte Peplow, former British Beer Writer of the Year and previous Chair of the British Guild of Beer Writers Emma Inch, and commissioning brewer at SSV Limited Edina Balint, and more.
