International Women’s Day with Whiplash Beer

Whiplash Beer Brewer Lynsey Campbell

International Women’s Day with Whiplash Beer

Whiplash Beer are pleased to share that they will be celebrating International Women’s Day this year with both an online brewery tour and a behind the scenes look at a day in the life of a cellar brewer.

Taking place on Sunday March 7th at 3pm, lead cellar brewer at Whiplash Beer Lynsey Campbell will host a virtual tasting session of Whiplash beers and a tour of the brewery. Commissioned in late 2019, the brewery in Dublin is completely custom built and on the cutting-edge of microbrewery innovation.

Lynsey joined the Whiplash team in March 2020 as lead cellar brewer, coming from a career in the UK which spanned both brewing and drinks industry sales. The global theme of IWD 2021 is Choose to Challenge and the event will touch on this as Lynsey charts her path to becoming a professional brewer. The tour will be co-hosted by Leah Kilcullen, marketing manager at Whiplash Beer.

The event is free to attend and will be hosted on Zoom. Those interested in attending can sign up at this link. Keep an eye on the Whiplash social channels closer to the event to find out what beers they recommend for the tasting. All will be available on the Whiplash webshop. All webshop sales on Monday 1st of March will go to ALONE, the charity which the brewery team has decided to support in honour of IWD. ALONE reaches hundreds of older people all over Ireland, and close to the brewery at their residential services in Kilmainham and the Liberties.

On March 8th, International Women’s Day itself, Lynsey will provide a behind the scenes look at what a typical day looks like in a busy brewery and how the team works together to get from milling malt all the way to getting fresh cans of Whiplash Beer ready for shipping. This will be hosted on the brewery’s Instagram page, @whiplashbeer.

Speaking about the events, Lynsey (above) commented:

“It was important for me to mark the day at the brewery, not because we think anyone deserves credit for having female brewers but to instead use it as an opportunity to encourage other women to look at brewing or the drinks industry in general as a viable, fulfilling and inclusive career.”
