080 - We Make A Brave Noise!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We are making a Brave Noise – both physically and by brewing the beer! If you haven’t heard about Brave Noise, it is a global collaboration beer started by Brienne Allan. It started as a question: “Have you ever experienced sexism in the beer industry?” This opened the flood gates to reports of not just sexism, but racism, homophobia and sexual assault within the beer industry and community. To honour those that have spoken out and to try to have a safer, more inclusive beer industry, the Brave Noise collaboration was born. To take part breweries must submit their code of conduct and make this publicly available to staff and consumers. They must also commit to doing the long term work of building a more inclusive industry and make a donation to an appropriate charity or non-profit that reflects the mission of the collaboration. We were honoured to be asked by Merakai Brewing Co to be part of their Brave Noise brew – not only brewing the beer with them but also expressing why the cause is so important to us and helping to choose the non-profit partner to receive funds from the sale of the beer. We chose The Coven Brewsters Wellness Officer initiative. These with be trained staff that will attend beer events and festivals to help, support and act as witness for attendees. In this episode we talk to the whole of our Brave Noise Team: Emma O’Neill-Parsons @merakai_brewing Bex Morton @bexdrinksbeer Emmie Harrison-West @beerwomxn Kimberly Owen @craftbeerpinup Leeann Craven @craftbeer_redhead Ranjana Cartwright @ranji86 And shout out to Rebecca Price (@beerme_becky) who couldn’t make it. The beer has SOLD OUT from the Merakai website already but check out their socials to find all the local stockists who have supported the cause and grab yours from there.
