INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S BREW:
This is a big event and we couldn't be more excited about each and every aspect of such an amazing International Women's Day!
We will be working with Nicole Fitzmaurice, Brewer at River's Edge Brewing Co., who will lead us in the process of brewing their newest beer. This day-long process will be educational and we'll be getting our hands a little dirty, so be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and something comfortable if you'd like to be a part of the work! Come when you can, stay as long as you like. Feel free to work remotely from River's Edge , enjoy a beer, connect and network, and participate in whatever parts you can!
We are collecting items for Anchored Hope Outreach, a nonprofit outreach that is working to fight human trafficking by serving the needs of sex trafficked victims. You can find them “boots on the ground” in the neighborhoods of southwest Detroit passing out food and hygiene kits, spending time in prayer, and connecting those in need with resources to heal and restore.
Please bring your donations to the Brewery on the day of the event at any time.

Yesterday's celebration of International Women's Day at River's Edge Brewing Co. with brewer Nicole Fitzmaurice was incredible! As women in a traditionally male-dominated industry, it was empowering to come together and contribute to the brewing world. Partnering with Nicole for this event offered us a unique opportunity to learn from her expertise and gain hands-on experience in brewing our newest beer, which we also had the privilege of naming.
This event serves as a reminder of the importance of collaboration and empowerment among women, and we couldn't have asked for a better way to honor it than by brewing beer and giving back to our community.
Throughout the day, over 50 women joined forces, not only to brew beer but also to collect hygiene products for Anchored Hope Outreach. Together, we lifted bags of grain, cleaned out mash from the tanks, and assembled over 100 backpacks, along with 5 more boxes, filled with necessities for women impacted by sex trafficking in Detroit.
This hands-on experience allowed us to connect with each other while making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. International Women's Day holds special significance for us as women, as it provides a platform to highlight our achievements and contributions while emphasizing the importance of supporting and uplifting one another.
In the spirit of giving back, Women In Milford's partnership with Anchored Hope Outreach underscores our commitment to making a positive impact in our community. Anchored Hope Outreach is dedicated to combating human trafficking by providing essential resources and support to victims.
Yesterday, we brewed great beer and contributed to the fight against human trafficking. All in all, it was a kick ass day!
Thanks to Nicole Fitzmaurice, Tara Kay from Son of a Cookie, Anchored Hope Outreach, and River’s Edge Brewing Co., for helping us make yesterday’s event so special.
