What Do Witches and Brewers Have in Common?
Grand Teton Brewing in Victor, Idaho, recently sent me a few samples of their Black Cauldron Imperial Stout and shared a bit of history that inspired the beer. The beer’s name does a great job of conjuring up scenes of witches and Halloween—which will be here before we know it—but there’s much more to it than just a catchy name! Black Cauldron was inspired by the often neglected role of women in the the history of beer.
For much of history, women were responsible for the majority of beer brewing, as it fell in with other responsibilities around the home. The current male-dominated brewing industry would likely be considered very odd by many cultures of the past and some cultures that still hold these traditions.
Women’s connection to the history of beer is especially evident in the correlations seen between medieval female brewers (brewsters) and the modern-day witch. Here are a few examples:
- Black cauldron: brew kettle filled with boiling wort.
- Cat: brewers often kept a cat to keep rampant rodents out of their grain storage.
- Broom: an ale stake was displayed above the door of a brewer with ale for sale. It consisted of a rod with many smaller sticks tied onto one end and happened to double as a broom for cleaning the shop.
- Pointy hat: When brewers took their ale to market, they would wear tall pointed hats in order to stand out from the crowd and be easily visible.
Pretty spot on, right?
As the demand for beer grew, brewing was moved out of the home. Since laws in those times prevented women from owning property and starting businesses, the industry became dominated by men as they opened larger-scale brewing operations. Over time, the imagery associated with the brewster became morphed into our modern day Halloween costume.
Thanks to the folks at Grand Teton for shedding some light onto the role that women have played throughout brewing history—and thanks for the beer! As the craft beer industry continues to grow, we need to embrace women’s important role in the history and future of craft beer.

Reviews for "The Kohler Rune Back Stainless Sink: A Perfect Fit for Any Kitchen Style"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Kohler Rune Back Stainless. The design looked great online, but when I received it, the quality was lacking. The back had scratches and dents, and it just didn't seem as durable as I expected. It also didn't fit well in my kitchen sink, and the water pressure was noticeably lower. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I've had the Kohler Rune Back Stainless for a few months now, and I must say I'm not impressed. The installation was a hassle, as the instructions weren't clear and it took longer than expected. Even after installation, the faucet constantly leaks and I've had to tighten it numerous times. The water also doesn't flow smoothly, and sometimes it gets stuck. I would have expected better quality from Kohler.
3. Mark - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Kohler Rune Back Stainless. Within a few weeks, the finish started to peel off, revealing a cheap plastic underneath. It's shocking to see such poor quality from a reputable brand like Kohler. Additionally, the water pressure is inconsistent, sometimes it's too low and sometimes it splashes everywhere. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
4. Emily - 1 star - I had high expectations for the Kohler Rune Back Stainless, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The handle feels flimsy and it's difficult to control the water temperature. The spray function is weak and doesn't have enough power to clean dishes properly. On top of that, the faucet started leaking within a few days of installation. Save yourself the trouble and choose a different brand.
