I think it’s fair to say the beer industry is largely male dominated. How many brewery owners/founders/head brewers/beer critics/general beer personalities can you think of off the top of your head? Adam Avery, Sam Calagione, Greg Stone, Ken Grossman, Garrett Oliver, Rob Tod, Chip McElroy, Fritz Maytag, Charlie Papazian, Michael Jackson. All of them are possessors of a Y chromosome.
One notable exception is Austin’s own Amy Cartwright, co-founder of Independence Brewing. Another is Hildegard van Ostaden of the Leyerth Brewery in Belgium, brewer of the Urthel range of beers since 2000. Like Amy, Hildegard is also co-founder of the brewery. Her partner in the venture is husband Bas who designed the gnome-like characters that feature on their labels.
One other unusual aspect of the enterprise is that the beers, although Belgian in style, are brewed across the border in Holland, at the Koningshoeven Brewery...
