Discover craft beer in Brussels
Last week I was in Mainz for the Women’s International Trophy. The Women’s International Trophy is a unique event in Germany and a top-level tasting: wines, beers, and spirits from all over the world are tasted by an international jury made up entirely of women. All the tasters, sommeliers, oenologists, etc. are experts in the field. It was great to be part of this event again and taste so many excellent beers!
We had a full house on Saturday for our beer tasting for International Women’s Day. We tasted four beers made by amazing women in the beer industry and enjoyed an exciting pub quiz about women & beer.
Thank you all for coming to this special event!
