Founder & brewmaster, Zambo Creek Microcervecería.
To Laura Boada, it’s clear that women play leading roles in breweries all over the world. As the founder and brewmaster of Zambo Creek Microcervecería, an all-female brewery in Quito, Ecuador, Boada is one of those women. “Maybe the expectation from some consumers is that the good beer, strong beer, creative beer, should be more related with men, but really there [isn’t] any difference—just good beer from good people.” Boada recently finished an apprenticeship with Fremont Brewing in Seattle, sponsored by a scholarship from the Pink Boots Society (PBS), a non-profit group that advocates for women beer industry professionals. Now, she’s implementing what she learned at Zambo Creek to advance Ecuador’s brewing economy and the status of women in the international beer scene.
The global beer industry is still predominantly male. Do you see this changing in the future?
