Utah's craft brew community has come a long way in a short time and Utah's women have been a big part of it. There are plenty of homebrew clubs around but no clubs designed especially for women. That is about to change.
Alexandra Ortiz Fargher, co-owner of
Shades of Pale Brewing Co. has started up a Utah Chapter of
Barley's Angels, a group committed to involving women in the enjoyment of craft beer by creating environments where women can learn more about beer in a friendly, educational and supportive atmosphere, thus creating more women beer enthusiasts, and, ultimately, involving more women in beer- and brewery-related careers.
The Park City chapter will meet quarterly, with the first meeting being held on Thursday, April 26, 2012. The meeting will start with a brief brewery tour then adjourn to Good Karma for a beer tasting and just taking time to get to meet other women, network, chat and enjoy each other's company.
All are welcome, whether you are a beer lover or just tasting your first glass! If you would like to be apart of Barley's Angels but cannot attend this event email alex@shadesofpale.com and she will keep you up-to-date on meetings/events!
Thank you, Alex for putting this together!
Cheers!

There is a all female homebrew club in Salt Lake City- We've only had two meetings to date but we've hit the ground running. The Hop Bombshells meets monthly at The Beer Nut. Our next meeting is Wednesday, April 9. Those interested can send an email to hopbombshells@gmail.com. The more the merrier. We're trying to get our hands on a dosing kit for off-flavors for our next meeting. It would be fun to sit in on Alex's meeting as well.
April 9th?
