"""This book is the key to the queendom. If you like women, beer, and history, as I do, then find a comfortable chair and pour yourself a tall frothy glass of fermented barley juice. The adventure you're about to embark on will open your eyes to the forgotten history of women and their role in the greatest civilizing event in history: beer."" Teri Fahrendorf, Pink Boots Society Founder ""You may or may not have heard of Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of beer. You must become familiar with Tara Nurin, the goddess of contemporary beer writing. Tara has been an award-winning writer of beer and the business of beer for Forbes for years. She knows how to grab your attention with fascinating stories in short pieces. With the unlimited space of a book, her story becomes interesting, compelling, and comprehensive."" Pete Slosberg, founder of Pete's Wicked Ales and author of Beer for Pete's Sake ""Tara Nurin has written one of the more novel and, indeed, necessary beer books of the past few decades. It was an eye-opener to learn about a segment of the brewing past that's often overlooked or simply outright ignored. I highly recommend this read to anyone serious, or even just curious, about beer."" Tom Acitelli, author of The Audacity of Hops: The History of America's Craft Beer Revolution and PILSNER: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World ""A timely, fascinating, and incisive reminder of what has always been true but too often ignored: women are every bit as core to the beer industry as their male counterparts. Tara Nurin's deeply reported and lovingly told tale underscores that a woman's place isn't only in the brewhouse but across every inch of the beer industry."" Josh Noel, author of Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out ""Tara Nurin shines a much-needed spotlight on the 'herstory' of beer during a time of reckoning and self-reflection in our industry. From Mesopotamian women with cauldrons to modern-day brewery owners like myself, Tara effortlessly captures the evolution and importance of women in beer over thousands of years on the pages of this captivating read!"" Natalie Cilurzo, co-owner and president, Russian River Brewing Company ""A very insightful book highlighting the relevance of women in the brewing industry in Africa and around the world."" Peace Onwuchekwa, brewer, Bature Brewery, Nigeria"
