    I'm doing some research and looking for breweries in the U.S. that are owned by two or more women. I've seen posts about "Women in Brewing," "Women who Brew," etc., but are there women-owned breweries out there run by women (mom/daughter, sisters, friends, spouses, girlfriends, business partners)? Thanks for the help.

    It's not beer, but Bantam Cider in Somerville MA is owned and run by women

    Beeradvocate is a great spot for beer information and has a lot of helpful beer nerds.

    There is quite a bit of information on women owned breweries on this site too;

    I know there is a two woman owned brewery in Minnesota that is currently crown sourcing a new canning line.

    In North Texas there is Bitter Sisters... I don't know if it exactly meets your question but it is interesting. It was opened by four couples and they are all listed as part owners. It is owned by 3 sisters and 1 brother and their spouses so there are 4 women and 4 men.

    Then Celis Brewery is opening again in 2017 in Austin, TX. It is owned by Pierre Celis' daughter and granddaughter. And I think the granddaughter is going to be the brewmaster.

    Who cares about the owners, let's talk about female head brewers. That will be your next crop of owners.

    Not in the US, but Minoh Brewing in Minoh, Japan (Osaka suburb) is owned by two sisters.

    Highland (Asheville) fits both of these criteria: female owner and female brewmaster. Also 2 out of 3 in the lab are female, a female cellarperson and a female brewer.

    Isn't that the original Evolution Brewery? Location didn't seem to hurt them.
