Episode 40 - A Woman’s Brew x Women on Tap: The Pub That Didn’t Exist
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We’ve got a very special episode for you today that was specially commissioned by Women on Tap CIC for the 2021 Festival.
Women on Tap were looking for creative commissions for this year’s festival and A Woman’s Brew: The Podcast were honoured to be selected as one of 6 submissions. We want to showcase the wonderful women of Women’s Pint Club – a beer group started in person by Jo but then expanded to include all those online via a Facebook group and Zoom. Throughout the lockdown period these women have found a way to connect, make lasting friendships and support one another in ‘the pub that didn’t exist’ on Zoom. Tori and Jo asked the group about their differing experiences of the lockdowns, their feelings about the pub and virtual events and how Women’s Pint Club affected them during the pandemic. We speak to the international members and find out their differing experiences. Finally, a few members who felt comfortable to do so met in person and discussed the difference between the real pub and the virtual, what it means to us and the benefits of both. We want an inclusive society and experience in beer – virtual and in person events can aid this inclusion.
What we want you to take away from this episode is our love for the beer community and the hospitality sector; how it has helped us get through the devastating impact of a global pandemic, but also how we’ve managed to help each other in the process.
The ‘organised chaos’ that is our beer group Women’s Pint Club is here to stay, both in person and virtually. The pub isn’t just four walls, it’s the community that you build.
