Beer Witch

By: Heather Herrman (View Profile)

The most important piece of advice Kramer gives is that “you must keep everything sanitized. Luckily, I haven’t had a bad batch yet, but I have heard stories from brewers who have had to ditch entire batches because they failed to follow this golden rule.”

Whether or not you’re interested in the political aspects of women in the beer world, taking a look at home brewing is worthwhile. You’ll always have a reason to gather people together, a great item for gift giving, and, of course, the satisfaction of making and drinking the magical brew yourself. And. if anyone calls you a beer witch, you can take it as a compliment.

I'm a big fan of Killian's Irish Red, has anyone ever tried that?

Oddly, I could not stomach beer in my early years. Kegs, beer parties and beer games were anathema to me during that tender age when EVERYONE loves beer (college). I am ashamed to say that I once told a group of Sam Adams lovers that it tasted like urine. At that stage of my life, my stomach preferred Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan and similarly male-named spirits. I finally figured out it was the carbonation in beer that didn't agree with me. Many years later, I tried beer again and we feel in love with one another. Now, I LOVE, love, love beer; the darker the better. Thanks for extolling the virtues of ladies and beer.

Although written by a man, "Sacred and Healing Herbal Beers" by Stephen Buhner is a good reference for a brew witch's bookshelf. Susun Weed has a great Nettle Beer in one of her books too.

Another reason to love the women folk! For me, it's hard to beat a Negra Modelo con limon. And there's a dutch beer, Orangeboom, that I love - possibly because I experienced it on my first trip to Amsterdam. That's not to say I've ever turned down a Bud Light.

My favorite beer? Chimay from Belgium...and I've only seen men order it. So go figure?
