Victoria and Diann: Ladies Who Love Beer

Their names? Victoria and Diann. Their quest? Beer. The air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Well all right, they don't know the answer to that one, but it's not going to keep them from trying.

Bound by beer if not by blood, these two sippin' sisters have a drinking history that eclipses its own origin. Preferring drinking establishments that allow beer enjoyment to be a family affair, these two enjoy the company of their kids, comfortable couches, and (their husband's?) home cooked meals. With one foot in Nashville, Tennesee and the other in Asheville, North Carolina, there's plenty of craft beer to go around. And although it cuts down on their face time, it doesn't stop them from sharing the laughter and the love across the miles through their blog and other social media channels.

May I introduce, Diann Logan Meriwether and Victoria Lamberth: ladies who love beer.

We all win when beers compete {Red Brick Brewery}

Every few months or so the employees at Red Brick Brewery put their collective energy to the task of a brew off. Beers, tasting notes, and tap handles are all lovingly assembled and presented to the public for consumption and critique. The tasters cast their votes for their favorite brew, and at the end of the night the bragging rights and a big engraved beer glass are doled out to the winner.

I got there early so I could get in some snapshots before the sun went down. As usual, the folk down at Red Brick were more than happy to oblige my picture taking, and it wasn't long before the lot of unfamiliar attendees were also willingly stepping in from of the camera. You can check out the rest of the album on Facebook or by clicking the image below.

Sarah Young: A Lady Who Loves Beer

Named by her day job "The Apostle of Ales," this Atlanta brew maven has a deep love for the local craft beer scene. When she's not serving her beer interests at the local festivals, brewpubs, and breweries, you'll find her filling a glass with family and friends, taking long walks with her beagle babies and her boyfriend Matt, enjoying a Braves game, or enjoying her spare time in the great outdoors. As down to earth and down home in person as she is online, let me introduce...

Radishes, Beets, and Beer (oh my).

So, I'm thinking of brewing a beer.

I've been in a supervisory {slash} imbibing role for some time now, and it's probably about time I brew my own damn beer.

I'm thinking radishes. Or beets. Or possibly both (but not in the same batch).

Last week I exchanged some wilty lettuce at the co-op for two extra bags of radishes that no one seemed to want, and after about a lifetime of believing they were "too spicy" for consumption, and eating them at least four different ways since last Tuesday, I'm now convinced that they are perhaps the perfect beer companion. Also, radishes are of a sort, and when pickled (soaked in a little vinegar) they all but lose their sharp flavor and absorb all the lovely goodness in which they've been marinating.

Gina Silva: A Lady Who Loves Beer

Raised in Puerto Rico with an inevitable taste for rum, this gal has purportedly been drinking beer since she was a baby (no, really--she sent evidence). She now enjoys the slow-sippin, porch life of the ATL with her husband and her black lab, Sam. When she's not dreaming up new beer recipes, supervising her husband's home brew efforts, and chillin with her pup, she also enjoys competitive cooking (Drunken Chicken Chili anyone?), and transforming her drinking leftovers into Pinterest worthy creations.

This is Gina Silva, and she loves beer.

A Lady Who Loves Beer: Tierney Pomone

A part-time fashionista and full time brew aficionado "on a quest for the Holy Grail of beer," this lady hails from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and is a self described mix of "Carrie Bradshaw, Zane Lamprey and the girl next door". A contributor to SaraBozich.com (your unofficial guide to Harrisburg, PA), BeerStreetJournal, and a founding member of Stouts&Stilletos, may I introduce...

A Lady Who Loves Beer: Valerie Gibson

When she’s not arranging back room deals for bottles of Pliny the Elder, sharpening her sniffing and tasting skills with the local home brew club, and longing for the Colorado mountains, this Texas lady takes full advantage of all the Dallas craft beer scene has to offer. She will drink with just about anyone as long as they don’t offer her a Blue Moon (The dudes better check their boring beer recommends at the door. The lady knows what she likes.)

This is Valerie Gibson and she loves beer. She works and plays in Dallas, Texas. When she’s not drinking beer, she enjoys champagne times infinity.
