This episode features a very special WIBS 2022 roundtable discussion with three women who are creating real action for real problems, especially as it pertains to authentic representation of BIWOC folks in the beer and greater craft fermentation industry. With their critical eyes trained on not just inquiring about what the local brewery is doing to increase access but zooming out to see the overall socio economic structures that remove access for so many. With the help of Angi Thomas moderating together they ask the question what is authenticity? What does access mean and how can we explore the many different ways access is denied and can be created? These are some very impressive women ya’ll and we were beyond thrilled to not only have them participate in the 2022 Women’s International Beer Summit but to also be one of the organizations that received 5% of all ticket sales from WIBS 2022. I believe our donation came in just shy of $400 so thanks to all those who purchased tickets. Your money is going to a very worthy cause. We encourage you to lean in while you listen to this episode and keep your hearts and your ears open because this talk is chock full of real actionable items that each of us can be doing not just in our breweries, our work lives and our communities, but in how we think about the quality and meaning of our own lives. Get inspired to lift others along side yourself and the range of your own views and perspectives can only benefit.

Join us for our very first podcast episode! This talk was given at the 2022 Women's International Beer Summit where Linda joined us live via the magic of the internet from Oslo, Norway where she is a brewer at Eik & Tid, a commercial raw ale brewery. Linda van Loon was born and raised in the Netherlands where she fell in love with the world of yeast, bacteria and fermentation. After obtaining a degree in Life Sciences she started a career in brewing, with a focus on mixed fermentation. It was at Nevel Wild Ales where she learned about making beer in a more sustainable and local context.This interest in a more authentic way of brewing led her to Norway: to the land of kveik and raw beer. Since 2020, Linda has been working for one of the few commercial raw beer breweries in the world, Eik & Tid, where she works with raw beer and the re-use of spent grains. She is also a beer judge at the festival for traditional Norwegian brewing: Kornølfestival. And chapter leader (and co-founder) of Pink Boots Benelux and Norway (soon!). In 2021 and 2022 she received sponsor- and scholarships to accelerate her quest on making the beer industry in Europe a better place for women.This podcast is brought to you by the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to enabling, empowering and encouraging women and non binary folks in all facets of the craft fermentation space.
