NORFOLK, Va. - Maker s Craft Brewery, in conjunction with a handful of other local breweries, will team up to create a special brew in honor of Women s History Month and to recognize the women in the beer brewing industry.
Michele Lowney is the brewery s head brewer and has been in the brewing business for over 20 years. Her career took her across the globe, from Colorado here in the U.S. to places like the United Kingdom.
She said when she started, there were not a lot of women in the beer brewing industry.
