Women On Tap CIC is thrilled to announce that we are the new organisers of the International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD). After a year-long pause, this global initiative will return in 2025 with the theme UNITE SOCIETY.

We are proud to welcome the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) as the campaign’s headline sponsor.

Women On Tap CIC has partnered with The Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) to introduce a brand new ‘Diversity Champion of the Year’ category at the SIBA Business Awards 2025.

We are looking for a small number of UK breweries to be part of a Women On Tap CIC Feedback Panel for a limited initial term on a voluntary basis.

We need breweries that represent a range of sizes and regions. Are you interested in supporting us with this?

2024 is a bit of a ‘pause and review’ year for Women On Tap CIC. In the seven years we’ve been doing what we do, so much has changed - and yet many things that should have changed, have not.

With this in mind, we have now appointed a new Advisory Board to help us work through a review process and develop some new plans for the next 3 years of Women On Tap CIC.

We are looking to establish a new Advisory Board initially for a 6-month period as we work through a reflection and review process and develop some new plans for the next 3 years of Women On Tap CIC.

On Thursday 4th July, Harrogate-based Women On Tap CIC will host a Beer Social in the upstairs event space at Rooster’s Taproom at Hornbeam Park, open to everyone.

Live entertainment has been specially curated for the event in the shape of thought-provoking spoken word from the legendary poet, Jem Henderson - genderqueer poet from Leeds - and a spot of live music for your listening pleasure will follow from singer-songwriters Waihuka Matekuare (Wai) from Knaresborough, and Amber Ra, from Leeds.

On Thursday 4th July, renowned Beer Sommelier Annabel Smith will lead a guided tasting of four selected Rooster’s beers at the brewery’s taproom on Hornbeam Park in Harrogate.

This year Women On Tap’s Rachel is heading to Peakender - a beer festival nestled in glorious Bakewell - and she'll be hosting ‘A Conversation with the Women of Peakender’ on the main festival stage at 3pm on Saturday, 19th August.

In early 2023 we asked breweries to fill in a survey about the make-up of their brewing and leadership teams and overall workforce. We thought you might like to know more about what we found out.

Women belong in beer - except, the beer, brewing and hospitality industry doesn’t always make it seem that way. In our fight for equality, and a diverse beer, brewing and hospitality industry, we need role models. Game changers that inspire, and lead by example. Too often, women’s stories in beer that make headlines or podcasts are focused around trauma. What happened to us, rather than what is happening with us.

Instead, this year, WOTFEST has chosen 2023’s ‘Ones to Watch’. Written by Emmie Harrison-West.

It’s time for Rachel to talk about highlights of WOTFEST SEVEN, what ‘mission accomplished’ would look like for Women On Tap CIC, and she paints her ‘ideal pub’ scene.

“This piece has come from my own experiences in meeting people and finding friendships through a love of beer as someone with a visible difference. Finding like-minded people through the act of something as simple as drinking a beer in a local pub was exactly what I never knew I needed.”
