Established in 2017, the organisation has hosted multiple festivals, events, and campaigns intended to highlight women’s contributions to brewing and beer culture, as well as to address perceived imbalances in representation and opportunity.
The first festival combined tastings, educational sessions, and creative elements, and subsequent editions continued to offer a mix of live events, workshops, panel discussions, and performances.
[3] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Women On Tap CIC adapted its annual festival by delivering the programme online, including talks, tastings, music, yoga sessions, and panel discussions.
It features beer tastings, tap takeovers, educational panels, art exhibitions, charity fundraising and creative commissions, with a focus on spotlighting breweries and industry professionals who identify as women.
