A Langford brewery invites women who are looking to open a door into the craft beer universe to drink, socialize and learn more about the brewing process this weekend.

Organizer and front house staff at the Axe and Barrel, Kiera Louis says the idea for the Ladies Beer Social came about when she noticed the bar’s clientele tends to be predominantly male.

“I thought I’d make an event that would be accessible to everyone and try to do beers in an environment where you can meet other women, hang out – there’s no pressure,” she said, adding, “It can seem intimidating I guess, a woman getting into beer, just because you don’t know where to start you don’t know if you like it.”

Gaining an interest in something new is always easier if you have someone to pull you in, Louis says. “My dad got me into beer, and I wanna do that for other women as well.”
