Crafting a new normal in the beer industry 🍻

In 2021, the Brewers Association put together a demographic audit of breweries in the U.S. It found that 23% of brewery owners were women and just two percent of all breweries were fully-woman owned.
"Every aspect of craft breweries is really under-represented for people of color and women so we wanted to attack it in all sorts of ways," said Yasmin Karimian co-owner of Suspended Brewing.

She started the brewery five years ago with her partner Josey Schwartz, with the intentions of creating a diverse and inclusive space.

"We think about the size of the glasses and whose hand can fit around those glasses, so we do some non-traditional beer glasses. We’re breaking that tradition [and saying] you can use a wine glass and have really good carbonation for your beer in that way," she said.

Carbonation is always on the mind of Judy Neff, co-owner and head brewer at Checkerspot Brewing, about a mile south of Suspended.
"I love science, there’s definitely science in brewing," she said.

And Neff knows science, she has a PhD in microbiology. She did home brewing for years before taking the leap in opening her own brick-and-mortar brewery in South Baltimore.

She said one of the groups that helped her get her business started was the Pink Boots Society.

"It really allowed that networking and support system for women who were truly truly in a male dominated arena," she said.
