Unlocking the bottle cap on gender equality, Greenwood Brewing in Phoenix shines as a unique beacon in the craft beer world. According to a 2021 survey by the Brewers Association, less than three percent of breweries in the United States are solely owned by women. A statistic that makes Megan Greenwood, the founder and owner of Greenwood Brewing, a true standout.
Teaming up with the Phoenix Mercury, Greenwood Brewing is on a mission to empower women by sharing “Her Story” one can at a time. Their flagship pale ale, Herstory, is receiving a Mercury-themed makeover with limited edition cans celebrating Phoenix and the three-time WNBA champions. You can grab these 24-ounce collectible cans at Greenwood Brewing on Roosevelt Row or during Mercury games at the Footprint Center.
Described as a celebration of women, Herstory perfectly aligns with the empowering partnership between Greenwood Brewing and the Mercury.
Megan Greenwood enthusiastically shares, “Being a solely woman-owned company and self-funded, it’s really rare. We’re witnessing a shift in the brewing industry with more women enjoying beer and opening breweries. Launching a collaboration beer with a women’s NBA team like the Phoenix Mercury is incredibly cool and special. This year marks a significant moment showcasing the collaboration between Phoenix athletes, women athletes, women brewers, and Phoenix breweries.”
