Welcome to War Horse Brewing. I'm Jen Meyers, 
co-head brewer here. I'm gonna take you
around, show you what we do in a day.
So, first off ...
I'm the type of person if you
tell me I can't ... I can't do something, 
I'm gonna go, 'Yes, I can, and I'm
gonna do it even better.' " And so for me, it
was really just more fuel to the fire. I
was on a mission to really prove myself.
I really wanted to pursue brewing as a
professional level, but from there, it
took, it took a little bit of time,
because in this industry, you have to
lift heavy things, and there was still at
that time
a stigma, I'd say, about women being
feeble and weak, so not a lot of people
wanted to give me that chance because
they were afraid I couldn't lift the
weight needed to be. But, you know, I
worked really hard and I've gotten to a
place where I have proved myself. I've
been in this industry now eight or nine
years, and I've gotten to that place now
where if I go to a master brewers'
meeting or a Brewers Association meeting,
it's not like, 'Who's this girl?' It's, 'Oh, hey, Jen. 
How are you doing?' And what's
even better now is I'm seeing more women
coming into this field and it doesn't
have that judgment that it once did. The
one thing I always said about beer is
that it never held judgment, and it was
the common person's drink. There's so much
judgment sometimes within some of these
styles that are created and, 'Oh, it's not
good enough.' You forget why you're
drinking it, and it's to relax and enjoy
and take a second for yourself. What
does it matter if it's the next trendy
thing? If you enjoy it, you enjoy it, you know?
