All Female Brewed Beer Dropping Friday at Portland Brewery
International Women s Day is on March 8th and March is Women s History Month. In honor of these special occasions celebrating women, an all-female crew at Austin Street Brewery in Portland joined forces for a can t miss brew.
Hitting taps this Friday is a brew called Fair Fight. This is a 4.5% Wheat Ale made with fresh ginger and peach. Austin Street Brewery will also be releasing all of their other beers that have been released on International Women s Day from previous years.
The name Fair Fight is a nod to their partnership with the Fair Fight Action organization, a political action committee that aims to promote fair elections according to their website.
Think imported: Think expensive. For years, the brewing industry has tapped into consumers preparedness to pay more for a brew made in romantic-sounding locations overseas. Times are changing, as category commentator Stephen Beaumont notes, and brewers are now more comfortable bringing production of their imported brands in-market. Will consumers let them? Well, yes; So long as they re straight with them.
Earlier this month, Anheuser-Busch InBev surprised some brewing industry observers - as well as, presumably, a much greater number of beer consumers – with the announcement that starting this summer, the group will begin production of one of its Big Three international brands on US soil. The brewing of Belgian lager Stella Artois has been lined up in St Louis before moving on to Newark, Los Angeles, and Jacksonville in Florida, following significant upgrades to those facilities.
