Women are pivotal to the future of alcohol. They're taking on greater importance as options across all bev-alc categories diversify like never before, offering new brands and flavor experiences. In annual polling by the Brewers Association, there was significant shift toward women's preference for hard seltzer, spirits, and other kinds of beer in recent years. At Sightlines, we break down what this means and put it in context of other deep reporting we've done on non-white women as the most important demographic shaping the future of alcohol: https://lnkd.in/gUJbFnRk

Rachel Auty recently shone a light on the low numbers of women working in beer in her blog post, saying, "All too often I hear a lack of workplace diversity being dismissed with a 'well, no women applied' and that’s just not good enough". A 'passion for beer' is highly valued in this industry, but if, as the recent 'Gender Pint Gap' report by Dea Latis suggests, only 14% women are drinking beer on a regular basis (versus 50% of men) there's a discrepancy already in terms of perceived value alignment. Passion can be cultivated and developed. What needs to happen is a serious look at what barriers exist to women both applying and being promoted as, in UK beer businesses, only 3% of brewers are female and less than 25% of managerial positions are held by women (I imagine ops and sales teams are similarly underrepresented). Surely there's an opportunity here to help address the perception of beer as a man's drink, and boost its consumer base, by encouraging more women to work in the industry? I, and many women I know, have/ had a really exciting, fulfilling career in beer and if the industry can sort out the gender imbalance there could be huge benefits for all. Read Rachel's post here ⬇

Josephine is a trained entrepreneur promoting clean cooking in Kenya. She recently made the news on her incredible mission to sell these cookstoves, improving the lives of people all over Kenya. We've trained over 300 entrepreneurs like Josephine to sell over 200,000 improved cookstoves: https://lnkd.in/ecuV_Fx7 Open fires and traditional stoves, used by nearly four out of five people in Africa, have dire consequences for health, the climate, and gender equality. Clean cooking can be transformational, but despite previous commitments to achieve universal access by 2030, the world is falling short of reaching everyone. Practical Action aims to provide access to clean cooking solutions for 10 million people by 2030: https://lnkd.in/e9jxASBE. Practical Action in Kenya #CleanCooking #SDG7

Women are shattering barriers and defying stereotypes across all industries, inspiring younger generations as they steadfastly pursue their dreams. As part of our Women's Day Celebration, I talked to our London Competitions judges to explore what motivated them to embark on their careers, which female figures served as their inspiration, and their perspectives on women's representation in the beverage industry. Here's what they had to say - https://lnkd.in/dPtqUv3F #womensday #womensempowerment #beverageindustry #beverage Adriana Valentini I Joanna Nerantzi I Beatrice Bessi I Chiara Sieni DipWSET I Cheryl Cade I Nikolett Maczo I Sid Patel
