Statement on Sexism and Misogyny in the Beer Industry

Recent posts on social media have brought to light hundreds of firsthand accounts of sexist, misogynist behavior towards women working in the craft beer industry. We, at Diablo Order of Zymiracle Enthusiasts (DOZE), condemn this type of behavior and will not tolerate it in our club. We welcome and celebrate women in all levels of homebrewing and the craft beer industry. DOZE’s mission is to promote and enjoy the hobby of home brewing.

Del Cielo Brewing Competition

Tomorrow the Del Cielo Brewing judging will continue with a final flight and some mini-BOS rounds. Afterward a BOS for both DCB and the DOZE team comp will be performed by some highly acclaimed judges from multiple clubs. We are fortunate to have this level of evaluation by some highly ranked judges. The DCB Comp is a Bay Area comp with clubs near and far. Hoping to see everyone at the awards ceremony Sunday at DCB on Sunday at 4pm.

Moraga Pear Harvest

Today DOZE participated in the annual Moraga pear harvest, to benefit the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. We had twenty DOZE volunteers show up to help pick the pears. Pears picked that were too ripe for use by the Food Bank were gifted to DOZE and will be turned into peary at an event in the near future. Participating DOZE members, watch the DOZE FaceBook events feed for details.
