Women of the beerosphere: Teri Fahrendorf
Teri Fahrendorf
What is your name?
Teri Fahrendorf
What is your location?
I live in Portland, Oregon.
What is your blog?
www.roadbrewer.com
Do you have a favorite style of beer? What is it?
I enjoy all well made beers and prefer to seek out the rare or unusual beers and styles.
How did you come to write a blog about beer?
I was the Brewmaster at Steelhead Brewing Company for 17 years. When I quit I went on a 5-month road trip where I visited 70 breweries and 3 distilleries, and brewed at 38 breweries. Family and friends wanted email updates, so instead I wrote a blog live from the road. My blog is attracting readers still, even though my trip was from June to October 2007. (Last summer.) [We covered Teri's journey in Beer walkabout. -Ed.]
What prejudices have you had to overcome?
About the blog? Or about being a woman Brewmaster? Or what? Not too many prejudices, but I would love to see brewing as a profession attract and employ an equal number of women brewers as men brewers.
Any other passions?
I am founder of the Pink Boots Society. If you know of any women brewers not on my list at www.pinkbootssociety.com, please send me their contact info or the name and location of their brewery. My passion is to promote women and professional brewing, especially craft or microbrewing.
Any parting thoughts?
All this beer talk is making me crave a beer. See ya…
