The video explores the historical role of women in beer brewing, from ancient goddesses to medieval saints, and how societal changes, including the Black Plague and the Industrial Revolution, shifted brewing from a female-dominated craft to a male-dominated industry. It highlights the church's role in vilifying female brewers as witches and the eventual decline of women's participation in brewing. Today, women are slowly re-entering the industry, though they still face challenges.
