136 - Hell Yeah Brother

Drunk & Uncultured Podcast

We’re celebrating International Women’s Day with our friend Charolette (@charolettebeerme). We sit down with Charolette to talk about her career in beer, how she got into the industry, the beers she’s made, her event planning initiatives like Lager Lounge with the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild (@ilcraftbeer), and fun shirts we should make We also got to be a part of a really cool project Charolette led in Chicago. More than 100 women in all facets of the Chicago beer industry (including your favorite beer podcast) got together to brew Vibes Since 1920. The beer pays homage to the history of women in Chicago whose unified efforts to champion equality for all, inspire change in their communities, and leave the world a better place than where they found it have paved the way for generations to come. Charolette dreamed up this opportunity as a way for women in the beer industry to connect, learn from each other, and create a network of support. Vibes Since 1920 will be distributed by Solemn Oath’s brand Hidden Hand. $2 from every 4-pack, $1 from every pint, and a portion of wholesale sales will go to the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild’s Illinois Diversity in Brewing Scholarship. We may be biased because we helped brew this beer, but it rips. It’s an extremely drinkable classic Pale Ale, with Citra, Amarillo, and Wakatu hops. There’s a really nice tropical brightness and a malty dimension from the Briess Caramel and Vienna malt. We’re so proud to have been part of this project, and we hope you enjoy the beer!
