Carbondale BeerWorks owner Patrice Fuller said on this year’s National Beer Drinking Day that the beverage isn’t just for men – beer is for women, too.
“Because I think a lot of times people think … only men drink double (India pale ales). I’m pretty proud, you know, I’m a female that owns my own brewery, so that I really love. It’s not just a boys’ beer,” Fuller said.
Fuller moved to the valley and purchased the brewery just under five years ago. Her previous job was as a bar manager in Seattle at a place called Tap House that offered 160 beers on tap at a time. Fuller said she tries to bring a bit of home to BeerWorks and incorporate different brews from the Pacific Northwest in their selection of 16 handles.
