Thinking about a recipe recreation to celebrate some women in brewing. Alex is Alexandra Farnham, who worked at McMenamins in 1986 and is the second woman to call herself a brewer in Oregon. {{The first was Marie Kienlen in 1904.}} Get excited for our September History Off The Clock!

"We have a new typewriter, compliments Blitz-Weinhard… our panel found Henry Weinhard‘s Private Reserve to be the best of the US superpremium beers…Someone was willing to pay me to confirm … in a radio commercial. It was great fun and I loved it. The typewriter is nice too!" ❤️Amateur Brewer, 1981.
