There are a couple of female homebrewers in our club. One in particular is damn good.

I live near Weed. Definitely no women brewers and there have never been any women brewers at Mount Shasta Brewing Co. Rural Northern Calirfornia isn't exactly the most progressive place in the world and my guess is everyone at MSBC. in Weed, CA would laugh at the very idea of a female brewer. Very "good ol' boys" kinda vibe from the place.

Interesting, a good ol' boy vibe in CA.. Never would have figured that.
There are more trailer parks in Ca than any other state. They just don't put that part on tv.

This is a pretty epic necro. Over a year and a half since that last post and over 7 since the OP. I was a senior in highschool when this thread started.

May have been said already, ( didn't read the entire thread) but the ex president of my homebrew club is female and one helluva brewer too. There's about 5 in my club here in Los Angeles.
Also, the owner of a new and rising brewery (golden road brewing) here in the Valley is female.

The Maltose Falcons. It works pretty much like I imagined it would. Monthly meetings, a good group of people and lots of experience to fall back on. My LHBS is home base or the club and as a result we get discounts there. PM me if you're looking to join up, or maybe just brew together. What part of LA?

Gotcha. I go over that way all the time. Some cool bars out that way. Oh! And Titos tacos too. Haha.
2013, aren't most homebrewers women yet? Our club only has 1 but she's a great brewer and that's more than 10%.

Ha, I'm right there! Put my fair share of miles on the shuffleboard table at the cozy inn myself. Good ****.

Just found out one of my female acquaintances on base (air force) is also a home brewer. First one I met, and she uses keggles.
Colleen was a homebrewer at our club, then opened a brewpub (Barley Mow Brewing) nearby. She makes GREAT beer in a 2 bbl electric system with her husband Jay. Great people and very good beer.

I really want to comment on that but think holding my tongue would be best..

I know 2 women that took home brewing to the professional level. They bought a building that was previously owned by a local brewery and opened it up again as Third Wave Brewing in DelMar DE. They make some really good beer and run a great place.
There's a women only homebrew club here in salt lake city.. Barleys Angles is what there called.. I think there at 10+ ladies and the club is fairly new
Our homebrew club usually has 50 - 70 members and guests at a meeting, with 10-15 of them being women. One of them makes one of my favorite meads. Another makes some really great saisons.

That's interesting. I don't know if I'd enjoy an all-female club. The dynamics would be different, plus I think it'd be excluding some good brewers!
I know several men who can brew kick ass beer and would be experts in the field, so I think both genders are equally valuable in a club.
Agreed! And I feel left out when they have there chocolate and beer tastings..lol..
Edit: I like chocolate too
I think the apparent disparity between men and women beer enthusiasts has a lot to do with the decades of marketing beer to men almost exclusively. I think that is obviously turning around somewhat but Rome wasn't built in 3 days.
Absolutely. There is zero reason why men would be better brewers than women. I know a few women who are fantastic homebrewers. I'd be more than pleased to be able to glean some insight from them and share in their beer at club meetings.
I'm female - new to brewing too but I've been a Chef for 10 years and this was always on my bucket list for things to get into.
Last summer I spent my time on BBQ & Ice Cream making! This year was Sausages & Brewing.
I'm from Ontario, Canada - as far as I know there is a thriving craft brewing / homebrewing scene here with some great breweries and clubs. I've already met a couple women that brew, too since starting!
