Girly Drinks, a James Beard award-winning book by

Girly Drinks, a James Beard award-winning book by Mallory O'Meara, sets out to tell the history of women in alcohol through fifteen individual stories, the content is even richer than advertised. As we ricochet around the globe, it’s impossible not to be in awe of O’Meara’s no-stone-unturned research, diving into drinks cultures as diverse as ruou in Vietnam, omaongo and oshinwayin Namibia, and early Japanese sake (kuchikami) – all produced by women.

I am sorry to our beer community and our queer com

I am sorry to our beer community and our queer community. I made a mistake, and I’d like to make an apology.

Beer is for Everyone received an email a few days ago, and I jumped to conclusions about its meaning based on my own lived experiences.

As a person who identifies as a womxn, specifically a non-binary demi female womxn, I was defensive when I read the aforementioned email. Because of my own experiences of being invalidated and attacked, I took it to mean that the person was anti-queer.

However, I never followed up to find out a deeper reason why the sender said what they did. It’s not an excuse, but it is a reason - I get messages like this all the time and are usually very much racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and the list goes on. So, I tend to just ignore them.

But, a friend brought it to my attention that they were confused as to why I used a word that can be seen as problematic.

After much discussion, I realized I wasn’t as clear as I needed to be. And, my assumption could have hurt someone.

I also needed to be more aware that just because I use that term to identify, I should have acknowledged that it, perhaps, should not be used by others, at least not if they don’t personally identify or have consent.

Identity politics are incredibly complex and ever-evolving. And, even though I consider myself well-versed and well-lived, I am wrong very often. So, I am truly sorry if I hurt anyone.

I will be following up with a longer post online at a later time once I can decompress. But, for now, I want to give this apology with my sincere sadness for any confusion or hurt that I may have caused.

P.S. Pride release is still happening because our Pride is unwavering 🏳️‍🌈

In response to the events transpiring in the world

In response to the events transpiring in the world, we thought we’d share this reminder: Beer is for Everyone. All of us; not some of us 🍻

We received a message from someone saying, “What a great idea and group! I was ready to support until I saw the use of the word “womxn”. Sorry…”

So, in case you didn’t know, beer is for everyone! And, we unequivocally mean it.

Beer is for…

Trans folx
Queer folx
Non-binary folx
LGBTQIAA2S+
QTBIPOC
Womxn

Beer is for Everyone

And, to celebrate our love for our diverse, intersectional community, we are doing a surprise PRIDE drop.

But, it’s not June. How could we be releasing Pride merch? Well, guess what, Pride is 365/24/7 here 🌈 As it should be.

Cheers! Stay tuned for much more - We might be making this a double drop special.

Mark your calendars for 3/31 at noon PST on Transgender Day of Visibility- As a direct response to the anti-trans, anti-queer legislation and rhetoric surrounding our nation, we combat them with awareness, advocacy, and radical joy.
