• March 7, 2025 – “What Ales Us?” Film Screening, Panel, Discussion, and Lunch Buffet

  Monday, February 24, 2025 | By cszczepanowski

  

  Join us for an International Women’s Day event: a film screening of What Ales Us?, followed by a panel and discussion on sexism and racism in Canada’s brewing industry. This event also includes a free lunch buffet.

  What Ales Us? is about two women (Ren Navarro and Erin Brandson) who reckon with a broken beer industry in Canada and start a movement to change it.

  Cathy van Ingen is a professor of Kinesiology at Brock University and is an independent documentary filmmaker based in the Niagara region. What Ales Us? is her first film. She will be joined by Ren Navarro and Erin Brandson for a panel and discussion after the event.

  Director Statement: As I watched the #MeToo-style reckoning unfolding in the craft beer industry, I was drawn to the stories of women, like Brienne Allen, Erin Brandson, and Ren Navarro, who began sharing experiences of sexual harassment, assault, homophobia, and racism. The stories included accusations against some of the beer world’s most acclaimed breweries. As I dug deeper into beer history, I learned that women used to dominate beer making – and I wanted to know what changed. This film explores the battle brewing in the industry and what happens to the women who speak out.

  Friday, March 7, 2025, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm
  Welch Hall Room 204 at Brock University

  Learn more about the film in The Brock News and RSVP to the event on ExperienceBU.

  Co-hosted by the President’s Advisory Committee on Human Rights, Equity, and Decolonization (PACHRED); the Sexual Violence Prevention Committee; and the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies.
