We Want More Women in Beer Competitions

Beer Is The Way branded merchandise is a fundraiser for our upcoming Evergreen Brewing Initiative, which will educate, support and provide resources to encourage more participation in homebrew competitions!

Pints & Panels & WIBS

We strive for Inclusion, Community and Mentorship through Learning, Passion & Delight. Help support our efforts with some rad merch!

Our newest endeavor from WCFA has officially launched.  Evergreen Brewing Initiative, a homebrew club and community, was born of a desire to see more female and nonbinary homebrewers in the hobby and participating in homebrew comps.

Are you a female homebrewer who wants to compete in competitions? Are you a nonbinary beer lover who has always thought about homebrewing but didn’t know where to start? Are you an established homebrewer who loves to participate in comps? There is a place for you in EBI!

Our club and community is not exlusionary in nature, we simply vow to center underserved groups. Women, nonbinary, BIWOC, and queer folks can rest assured that this club is for you!

Our 4th Annual Women’s International Beer Summit (WIBS) is in the planning and we are going to be doing things a bit different this year. Stay tuned for updates and we hope look forward to bringing you the best WIBS yet in 2024!

We recently launched The Craft Fermentation Podcast!

Join Michele Wonder and listen in to the best sessions from our first three years of WIBS. Whether you are a homebrewer, pro brewer or aspiring professional, there is something for everyone.
