The Women of Beer in Vermont
Briefly

"We've all experienced differential treatment based on being women, but never at The Alchemist," says Casey Brooks, a brewer of eight years whose first career was as an 8th grade middle school science teacher. "When I'm traveling and I say I work for The Alchemist, most people assume I have an office job. They never guess I'm brewing the beer itself."
"Brewing is a dangerous job," says Priscilla Nelson, a cellarperson who has also worked in online retail and on the canning line at The Alchemist. "It's hot, everything is heavy, there's a lot under pressure, and we work with acidic chemicals." But this hasn't deterred her one bit.
