What a brilliant BeerX! This year.... @womenontap had a stand 🧡 I did a talk on the main Future of Brewing stage, inviting the room to consider how they might recruit a readymade community of brilliant women who want to find their place and thrive in the industry 🗣️🎤 I presented the @societyofindependentbrewers SIBA Business Awards Diversity Champion 2026 (Huge congratulations, @queerbrewing !) 🏆 These 3 things put the subject of gender diversity and wider inclusion right at the heart of one of the UK's biggest beer events. It will never not be incredibly intimidating to take up space as a champion of women and gender diversity in a very male dominated arena - but we must. I was not there for me - I was there to represent everyone who has ever felt this discomfort and faced barriers as women in beer spaces and careers. We must have spoken to more than a hundred people at our stand and I was blown away by the positivity, support, and generosity. So many wore our stickers and we ran out of pin badges! I'm hugely grateful to Andy Slee and Neil Walker at SIBA for the opportunity and platform. Women need this level of advocacy. Thank you to Julie @neptunebrewery Sonja @jumpshipbeer @sazzysinclair and @thegirlwiththehoptattoo for joining me on stage and sharing your stories. Thanks also to Laura Mackie for hosting and for all your year-round cheerleading and guidance; to @craftbeerpinup for being such a legendary support, as well as chief stickerer and content creator extraordinaire; and to @cathw1901 for front row support, as always. I love this industry, and BeerX was a real honour. Thanks to everyone who said hello - you really helped make it a very special week for me 🧡 P.S. Audio by my husband @tags2k 🎶🎧🥰

𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗔 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🏆 We're excited to announce that our Executive Director @marketerach will be taking a seat on the judging panel for the @societyofindependentbrewers Business Awards 2026 for the second year running. The awards seek to congratulate excellence in the UK brewing industry across a variety of categories, from pump clip, can and bottle design, to efforts taken by breweries to make their businesses more sustainable, innovative or diverse as well as naming the UK's best pubs, bars, taprooms and retailers of beer from the independent beer sector. In 2025, @womenontap worked alongside SIBA to introduce the Diversity Champion of the Year award, which is now a permanent category. The inaugural award was won by @handbrewco for a range of practical and impactful measures introduced within the workplace and social space to embed inclusion across the business. 🔴 ENTRIES CLOSE 31.01.26 | See @societyofindependentbrewers for full details

𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓 A masterclass in painting and storytelling. Last month I had the chance to lose myself in @tate Britain and soak up an enormous body of work from three outstanding artists. 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓 & 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆: 𝑹𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒔 & 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒔 presents the work of two of Britain's greatest painters who worked at the same time. This exhibition holds over 170 works and marks the 250th year since their births (1775 and 1776). Alongside breathtaking paintings, it tells the tale of the different backgrounds of the two men and how there was rivalry. Turner was from a humble background and became the youngest person to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Art at just 14. Many never accepted him. Controversial and rebellious, critics rejected him time and time again. Being the son of a wealthy Suffolk merchant, Constable was more accepted, producing realistic depictions and detailed work people recognised. There is a suggestion the two did not see eye to eye, and it's an interesting twist in the story of two brilliant artists, working alongside one another and both vying for the limelight. As the story goes, it seems later in life they found peace and respect for each other. I hope it's true. I have painted in oils for the first time this year, and it was a joy to get up close to these incredible pieces. To see the brush strokes and the strikingly effective techniques that look so simple to the eye. On to a very different exhibition. American photographer 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓 is described as 'one of the 20th century's most urgent artistic voices' and this is the most extensive retrospective of her work shown in the UK. What a life story, and what a career she had. Starting out as a model in front of the camera she was soon behind it, travelling the world and working for British Vogue as official war photographer, she was driven, skilled and fearless. Her photojournalism undoubtedly tells truths we would not otherwise see for ourselves. Her images from concentration camps are devastating, and her self portrait in Hitler's bathtub is powerful. She was a force to be reckoned with and this exhibition is superb. Go see it.

𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝟱𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 What a joy to have the chance to explore this iconic exhibition on its final week and connect with nature through the work of Andy Goldsworthy while in #Edinburgh. The themes of nature and environmental subjects were especially pertinent, as I viewed this show on the same day Melissa - a category 5 hurricane - hurtled towards Jamaica to cause mass devastation. Nature can make us feel so small, and yet when we take time to really connect we realise how important it is to humanity - and how much we absolutely must take good care of it as a matter of survival. @royal_scottish_academy @nationalgalleriesscot
