Hope Ewing - Movers and Shakers

Wednesday, November 14, 6:30pm
Brennan's Central West End

Left Bank Books and Brennan's welcome author and veteran bartender Hope Ewing, who will sign and discuss her new book, Movers and Shakers: Women Making Waves in Spirits, Beer & Wine, with The Gin Room's Natasha Bahrami!

In her travels across the country, Hope Ewing discovers how women are paving the way and creating a more inclusive and sustainable world full of delicious drinks. A veteran bartender, Ewing had grown impatient with the surprisingly outdated perceptions of women in the alcohol industry. Entrepreneurial and ambitious, often the first in their fields, the women she knew in the business were leaders, mentors, and trailblazers. In Movers and Shakers, Ewing seeks out the first female master brewers, innovative self-starter winemakers, most badass bartenders and more, to share their stories as well as valuable business advice and insight into a constantly evolving industry.

"Women have been involved in making alcoholic beverages from the beginning, and Ewing showcases their many roles, including bartender, winemaker, marketer, and, CEO." —Library Journal (starred review)
