Women are still a rarity in the beer industry, although there are now a number of hard-working female brewers who are fighting for more diversity in the brewing industry with outstanding creations. These include Isabella, Giesi, Ivonne and Moni from Holla die Bierfee , the Dutch sisters Tessel and Do behind Gebrouwen Door Vrouwen and the founder of Emma-Biers without a Beard Almut Zinn. More and more women are venturing into the kettle and proving their skills with tasty brews made from hops, malt and yeast. Other pioneers in the brewhouse include Bailey Spaulding and Robyn Virball.
The two met during a semester abroad in Scotland. Over a glass or two of Scottish ale, they forged a friendship that continues to this day. After their stay in the UK, their paths initially led in different directions, but the two friends shared the feeling that they were destined for something bigger. Bailey has always brewed beer at home and when she presented Robyn with the idea of starting her own brewery, she was immediately on board. With combined forces, they put the plan into action and founded the Jackalope Brewing Company. The first official employee was Steve. The beer enthusiast was initially the brewery's biggest fan and worked his way up from intern to president of the company. Robyn is no longer part of the company, but played a significant role in establishing the brewery as a fixture in Nashville's beer landscape.
The brewery's mascot and namesake is a mythical creature. What is known in Bavaria as Wolpertinger is called Jackalope in the American West. This refers to a rabbit that has antlers. Because fun and a pinch of magic are an essential part of life for Robyn and Bailey, they gave their brewery this fabulous name. The beers brewed under the watchful eye of the hare are a colorful collection of year-round and seasonal craft beers with taste, character and cheerful labels. There are often personal stories behind the brews: Bear Walker, for example, is an ale brewed with maple syrup from Bailey's home state of Vermont. Enjoyment is the top priority, followed closely by the environment: With a comprehensive concept, Jackalope brews as sustainably as possible. Reducing waste and energy consumption, using regional raw materials, recycling waste and water, recycling and composting are just some of the things the team does to protect the environment.
