Women have been working in the American alcohol industry since before the founding of our country. From brewing early colonial beer to playing important roles in prohibition, they have helped shape this industry and continue to make an impact. Join us as we raise a glass to this history and hear from present day practitioners.
The evening will feature a panel discussion with:
- Emily Bruno and Julie Verratti, founders of Denizens Brewing Co.
- Carol Stoudt, founder of Stoudts Brewing Co.
- Meredith Grelli, co-owner of Wigle Whiskey, Pittsburgh, PA
- Leslie Przybylek, curator, Heinz History Center, Pittsburgh, PA
After the panel, stick around for an interactive reception with tastings and activities to further explore historical tastes, modern craft brews, and more including:
- Craft beer tastings with Denizens Brewing Company
- Craft beer tastings with Stoudts Brewing Company
- A custom cocktail by Wigle Whiskey
- Samples of Wigle Whiskey and a new cider
- Themed snacks and a hearty plate of appetizers by the museum's chef, Kristy Cleaveland
