Tuesday I had the absolute privilege of attending the inaugural @womeninbeer.bsky.social Awards held at Eko Brewery in London It was an outstanding event. To be surrounded by so so many legends in the beer world was absolutely incredible.

Currently sitting on the balcony in Puerto de la Cruz listening to live piano music playing Queen whilst drinking Canarian banana wine (which btw is fab). A very nice holiday indeed.

Day 22 of #31beerherstories is, of course, the amazing St Brigid, who in between exploding eyeballs and stealing everything in sight, was busy making miraculous brews. I've got a chapter 'A Goddess, A Nun, And A Saint Walk Into A Brewery' dedicated to her and other Irish saints in Filthy Queens.

Lady Sarah Taylor, widow of Alderman Samuel Taylor, took over the entire operations of their brewery upon his death and was listed as the establishment's proprietor in 1783. Taylor was one of many widows who inherited breweries in the 18thc, & ran them quite successfully.
