I'm on it! 😊

Oooh yes! Thanks for pinging me! I definitely have a few *absolutely terrible* men that fit the bill for this in Irish Beer History! Particularly as it relates to women who brewed. Medieval, early modern.

Awww yay!! I'm so so glad you enjoyed it!

I had the very best time seeing your wonderful, brilliant, stunning face!!! So great to catch up

Happy Samhain and Halloween to everyone!!

And it's time for my annual PSA that women brewing in UK and Ireland were not removed from the beer trade via en masse witchcraft accusations and the modern witch stereotype doesn't come from their garb either

My latest documentary with History Hit looks at the witch hunts in 17th century Iceland, where 93% of those condemned as witches were men. Now available at historyhit.com (free trial period available.)

And a huge huge thank you to @womeninbeer.bsky.social
For having such an incredible event. And of course to Eko Brewery for hosting us all, it was fabulous and I was so excited to finally be able to try their beer!!
It was so lovely to see everyone, friends old and new!

I was also honoured to have won the Beer Expert of Year award, where I was shortlisted alongside three amazing women, whose important work always serves as an inspiration to me. It was such an honour to be listed amongst them. And I very grateful and humbled for this award

Tuesday I had the absolute privilege of attending the inaugural @womeninbeer.bsky.social Awards held at Eko Brewery in London It was an outstanding event. To be surrounded by so so many legends in the beer world was absolutely incredible.

Really excited to see everyone Tuesday!! Ps London friends, I'll be there from Monday so let me know if you want to meet up 🍺🍻😊

Currently sitting on the balcony in Puerto de la Cruz listening to live piano music playing Queen whilst drinking Canarian banana wine (which btw is fab). A very nice holiday indeed.

Do modern images of witches really come from Medieval female brewers? — Bean to Barstool Did Medieval female beer brewers really inspire the modern day image of witches, from pointy hats to cauldrons, and black cats to broom sticks? Beer historian Dr. Christina Wade has the answers in thi...

One of my most popular episodes of all time was recorded several autumns ago when @braciatrix.bsky.social came on the podcast to debunk some of the popular myths about the connections between medieval brewing and witchcraft: www.beantobarstool.com/episodes/epi...

Awww yay! I'm so delighted thank you so much 😊

I think it went really well! Got lots of good questions and people chatting to me about it later. Though of course imposter syndrome tells me otherwise 🤣

Can't wait to share more about what @beerfoodtravel.bsky.social and I did with our collab w/ @troublebrewing.bsky.social! Watch this space 🍺🍺🍻

I did! I was actually just mentioning you and your research at a talk and of course I cite your work in my book. Your insights are important and fascinating.

This sounds so cool! I am now determined to learn Norwegian so I can attend things like this in the future. Would be very interested also to go to something like this online- would love to see what everyone is working on @merryn02.bsky.social

A wonderfully evocative write up of @kornolfest.bsky.social by @patto1ro.bsky.social. It was so lovely to see you!!

Looking forward to tomorrow!!

It was one of the best beer related things I've ever done! An amazing event- truly you all are doing something really special
