Did you know that women were the first brewers of beer? This may be a surprising bit of history as the beer industry is very male-dominated in modern society. The Conversation recently visited Hana Koa Brewing Company in Honolulu to talk about women in local brewing with co-founder and Director of Operations Chrissie Pinney.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Hana Koa is set to launch its global beer collab “Shine a Light” on Friday in support of survivors and to help spur proactive change. This interview aired on The Conversation on April 28, 2022. The Conversation airs weekdays at 11 a.m. on HPR-1.
