FAQ: You Asked Beer Questions and I Answered

Recently on my Instagram story I told my followers they could ask me craft beer-related questions, and I would answer them in a blog post. I was asked some great questions and am going to answer them all below. 

What is your favorite of the seasonal Yeti stouts?

So, I need to be honest here and say I haven’t tried any of them yet. When I posted the poll on my story asking which one I should drink first, the majority of people said the pumpkin pie one. I plan on having that one around Halloween first. 

We’re Here: And Yes, We Do Drink Craft Beer

I’ve mentioned before that my craft beer journey began almost ten years ago. As we all know, the craft beer industry is still a very much male-dominated industry; and ten years ago it was even more male-centered. Throughout the last ten years, I feel that at times I have had to “educate” people that yes, women not only enjoy craft beer, but we also know a thing or two about it. Throughout this post, I want to share some of those times where I felt I faced some discrimination as a female craft beer drinker. 

Back in 2012, I was married to someone who looks like your “typical” craft beer drinker. He is 6’4, he is 290 lbs, and he has a full beard. When people have a stereotypical craft beer drinker in their mind, it perfectly matches my ex-husband. The thing is though…he didn’t drink beer. In fact, he despised it. He only drank ciders or vodka-based cocktails. When we would go out guess who was always given the beer menu? Guess who was always told about the newly released beer? Guess who was always given the beer even after moments prior he ordered a vodka drink? At the time we would just laugh to ourselves and switch drinks. As time went on though I became frustrated. Why can’t people assume we BOTH might like to see the beer menu? Why can’t someone remember that I was not the one to order a vodka drink?

What I am Thankful For: Craft Beer Edition

I am Thankful For….

Breweries and Craft Beer Bars

As a female, I do not always feel comfortable drinking at a bar alone. However, drinking at a brewery or a craft beer bar alone is a different story. Maybe it’s because I feel confident when ordering. Maybe it’s because beertenders have time to have a conversation with you. Maybe it’s because more than likely I am going to know at least one other person inside. Whatever it is, I am thankful that I will always feel welcomed and have a seat open and good conversation waiting for me at my favorite breweries or craft beer bars. 

Ins and Outs of Making a Beer Instagram –…

As I mentioned in my previous post I have had my beer Instagram for about two years now and I’ve really enjoyed everything that has come with. I’ve tried countless different beers, I’ve visited more breweries than I ever thought I would, I’ve got to do some pretty awesome collaborations with various breweries and companies, and best of all I got to meet some awesome people! 

I often have people asking me how to start a beer Instagram account or how to grow your followers. Once again, I am not an expert and am not on here to make money or make this my full-time job, but I will share what has worked for me. 

Ins and Outs of Making a Beer Instagram –…

I want to start this post by saying I AM NOT a beer expert or an “influencer.” I am just a girl who enjoys beer, who likes to share pictures of what I am drinking or where I am drinking, and I love to connect with others in the craft beer community. I started my beer Instagram account only because I didn’t want to keep posting beer on my personal account. I wanted a spot where all my beer adventures could go, and in turn, I could hopefully connect with others who have the same passion as me.
