Women On Tap CIC has launched a pilot bursary scheme designed to remove financial barriers for people wishing to attend local International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) 2026 events.

Applications are open now.

International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) returns this year, marking International Women’s Day with a global programme of collaboration brew days celebrating women in the beer industry and raising funds for women’s causes.

With 30+ projects already signed up this work has never been more important.

2025 has been a busy and purposeful year for Women On Tap CIC.

Founder Rachel Auty takes a look back at the last 12-months - the successes and the challenges - and shares plans for 2026 when she will step up in her role as Executive Director.

Since 2017, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside brilliant breweries and organisations who share a belief we hold deeply: the beer industry thrives when everyone feels welcome in it.

Now we’re proud to launch Changemaker for Organisations - the simplest meaningful way for breweries and industry partners to invest in diversity and inclusion in beer.

Women On Tap CIC has partnered with SIBA, The Society of Independent Brewers and Associates, to enhance their annual members survey and unlock access to vital data on women in ownership and top leadership roles in UK beer.

The first release of this data will be part of the SIBA Independent Beer Report 2026.

Will you be part of it?

The International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) campaign is back for 2026 and the theme has now been announced.

This year it was chosen in consultation with past IWCBD participants, Women On Tap Changemakers, and the Women On Tap Advisory Board.

According to a McKinsey & Company report, over the past decade, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams have consistently outperformed their peers. Yet data shows the beer industry continues to be mostly made up of a white male workforce.

So, how can breweries and other beer employers take steps towards building a workforce that is gender balanced and more closely reflects today’s diverse society - and reap the advantages?

For National Inclusion Week 2025 we outlined five key actions that don’t need to cost a penny.

International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) will be back for 2026, organisers Women On Tap CIC have confirmed, with funding and partnerships in place set to increase the campaign's impact and legacy.

IWCBD aims to drive change across the male dominated beer industry by boosting representation, promoting the growth of support networks, and inspiring breweries to reflect on workplace inclusion.

As an official close to the 2025 International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) campaign, Women On Tap has invited some of the brew day project leads to join them for an online panel discussion to reflect on their projects and experiences and wrap up this year.

Following the overwhelming response to the 2025 International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) campaign, participants have now been selected by WSET to receive a fully funded place on the WSET Level 1 Award in Beer course. The exclusive IWCBD cohort will commence on 19 May 2025.
