From supply, to brewing, marketing, logistics and many more, there are thousands of women working in the day-to-day functions of craft beer.  The mission of Women in Craft Beer of the Brewers Collective, is to provide women working within our craft network a platform to develop career opportunities, champion ideas, empower one another’s ambition, and inspire the future direction of the industry.

In September, Breckenridge Brewery hosted the Women in Craft Beer Summit, bringing together women from across the craft family for an action-packed two-days, including a panel discussion, beer sensory education, tours and immersion sessions.  With 77 participants from across 21 craft breweries in attendance, we are proud to work alongside such amazing leaders in the industry.
