We're doing some hop calculations right
now for the brew that we're doing, which is ...
I'm Ashley McCaffrey. I'm the assistant brewer
at ROC Brewing. I have
a degree in viticulture and wine
technology from FLCC. I graduated a
couple of years ago and worked in the
wine industry and had a really wonderful
experience there, but I was looking for
something that was full time, year-round,
less seasonal, and I was really drawn to
being in Rochester.
I've seen a lot of
women that what I would consider them
being tastemakers in the beer industry
are treated oftentimes as, 'Oh, they're
tastemakers for women.' And that, I think,
is kind of a disservice to them as
people and the work that's being done.
There's incredible women working in the
industry in all facets, not only in
production but also in packaging, in
quality control, in marketing and
distribution. Ownership. There's
incredible female entrepreneurs that are
out there like doing incredible things.
I'm very happy to be in this industry,
for sure.
