Though many brewers in Wisconsin are male, there is a burgeoning growth of women brewers in the area, including at breweries in Baraboo, Wisconsin Dells, and beyond.
The majority of Wisconsin brewmasters are male. It wasn’t until 2005 when Jamie Baertsch became the first female brewmaster in Wisconsin. She, along with fellow female brewmaster Teri Fahrendorf, eventually came to found the Pink Boots Society, an organization that supports, inspires and encourages women and non-binary people in the brewing industry.
