Queen of Craft announces 4 Guelph events as part of annual beer series

Wellington Brewery says his annual women’s beer series hosted by Queen of Crafts is back this spring with the ninth edition.

The last two series were made practically because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, but this year’s events will all be in-person, the group announced.

Karyn Bosco founded Queen of Craft, a group of women who use their own talents and experience to teach others about beer, creating a safe space in a male-dominated industry.

Part of their work is the annual beer series, which usually features activities and seminars for female beer lovers who want to learn more.

“This year’s Queen of Craft program will bring together new and experienced beer lovers to learn, have fun, and give back to the community while engaging with relevant issues in the craft beer industry,” Bosco said in a press release.

As every year, all proceeds from the events will go to support Guelph Wellington Women In Crisis who have already raised $48,000.

To celebrate International Women’s Day on Tuesday, Wellington Brewery also launched the Queen of Craft IPA, with 50 cents from the sale of each can being donated to Guelph Wellington Women In Crisis.

The beer series events take place every Saturday from 23 April to 14 May, with the first three taking place at 10C on Carden Street and the last at Wellington Brewery.

Every Saturday there is a matinee and an evening session.

Events will include beer tastings, beer chemistry, chocolate and cheese beer pairings, and a beer information session with games and challenges.

More information about the events and tickets can be found on the internet.

Queen of Craft also collaborated with Kitchener-based artist Trisha Abe to design the IPA cans along with coasters and posters for the beer series.
