FemAle Brew Fest’s(TM) mission is to bring awareness to, and celebration of the many women working in the craft beer industry, in addition to providing an atmosphere of camaraderie and collaboration for lovers of craft beer from all over the world.
“These talks provide fun and up-close experiences for craft beer lovers to gain a deeper appreciation of craft beer and the women behind it,” said Frances Antonio-Martineau, Founder, FemAle Brew Fest(TM). “We’ve put together a lineup of some of the most influential women helping to diversify the industry.”
FemAle Brew Fest is excited to announce the 2020 list of speakers that will grace attendees with their stories:
Ren Navarro:
Ren Navarro is a Canada-based beer diversity advocate that is well known in the Ontario beer industry, who for the last seven years has championed diversity in the industry through her time in the field as a sales representative for renowned and award-winning breweries. To that end, Ren is no stranger to public speaking and has appeared frequently at workshops, conferences, and talks informing and entertaining people through her love of craft beer. Navarro is on the front-lines to initiate change both in and out of the industry as co-founder and former co-organizer of the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies, a Toronto-based monthly beer event that provides a safe and relaxing atmosphere for female-identified people. Additionally, using her perspective as a queer black woman within the industry, she has talked extensively about diversity in craft beer as a panelist at the 2019 Craft Brewers Conference in Denver, CO along with constant appearances in various forms of media, from podcasts, television and radio shows to newspapers.
With her extensive knowledge in craft beer, passionate drive, and hilarious wit, Ren Navarro is here to educate, enlighten, and make craft beer approachable for a more diverse audience.
"I wanted to be a part of this festival because it's a great opportunity to see what's happening in American beer, along with a great chance for me to talk about my experiences in beer in Canada. Also, beer!" says Ren Navarro, co-founder and former co-organizer of the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies.
Dr. J Nikol Jackson-Beckham:
Dr. J as she is affectionately called, is a professor of Communication Studies, that has dedicated her career to the study of American beer. She has published social commentary, journal articles, and book chapters; delivered keynote addresses and guest lectures; and provided expertise as a guest on radio shows, podcasts, and in news and entertainment media on the culture of craft beer. Dr. J works to provide industry members with effective strategies for aligning inclusive organizational practices with overall organizational goals and tactics for diagnosing and removing barriers to access for populations that are underrepresented among craft beer drinkers and producers. Among her many achievements, she was recently named Imbibe Magazine’s 2020 Beer Person of the Year and is also the first Diversity Ambassador at the Breweries Association.
Megan Stone:
Megan is an experienced brewer taking her audience on an adventure around the world sharing her experiences with beer along the way. She prefers to blog about the hidden gems in cities instead of the usual tourist go-tos and offers recommendations on everything from beer/breweries, restaurants, events, scenic attractions, and style with a humorous and unique twist. Her instagram following is upwards of 31k and she has collaborated with several brands and breweries including the San Diego Zoo, Broo Shampoo, Sempli Glassware, Dogfishhead, amd Victory Brewing among many others.
"Events like FemAle not only show people that the beer industry is made up of more than men, but also makes it feel much more approachable for other women - whether they are consumers or interested in a career," says Megan Stone, founder @isbeeracarb.
