"Two Women" Lager 12 Pack, 2018

01

Artifact Overview

Microbreweries emerged in the late 1900s as public interest in sustainable practices and made-from-scratch foods and beverages became popular and profitable. Many pursue ecologically friendly business practices (touting pure water and locally sourced or organic crops) and remind consumers of their shared responsibility. New Glarus Brewing Company produced a high-quality beer, Two Women, drawing attention to women-owned and operated brewery businesses.
