Women On Tap CIC is proud to announce that the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) will continue as Beer 50/50 partner and headline sponsor of International Women's Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD) for a third consecutive year, underlining SIBA's ongoing commitment to inspiring inclusion and driving positive change across the independent brewing sector.

Women On Tap CIC is delighted to announce a new partnership with the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), who join as silver sponsor of Beer Unlocked, our new bursary scheme supporting women entering and progressing in the beer industry.

As well as offering direct financial support through Beer Unlocked, we are working with a range of industry partners to create and offer complimentary or subsidised opportunities. As part of this, we've teamed up with Beer Unlocked sponsor Charles Faram to offer something truly special - an exclusive experience day hosted just for our community, with limited places available.

Women On Tap CIC is proud to announce the launch of Beer Unlocked, an expanded bursary scheme designed to remove financial barriers preventing women from accessing opportunities across the beer industry.

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.
