In Episode 31 of the “Boys Are From Märzen” podcast, Kindsey Bernhard is joined by Megan Stone, media coordinator at Societe Brewing Co., and Jackie DiBella, co-founder of the Craft Beer Marketing Awards.

Megan Stone was named the Craft Beer Marketing Awards Inaugural 2020 Woman of the Year. Stone is most known as “isbeeracarb” on Instagram and since creating the account in 2017, she has accumulated 34k followers. Stone has used her platform to advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in craft beer.

Stone inspired the CBMAs to create a new category for Humans Rights which includes Best Collaboration/Human Rights, Best Can or Bottle Design/Human Rights, and Best Craft Industry Campaign/Human Rights.

Stone began her career in craft beer at Dogfish Head Brewing as a beer server. She has brewed, consulted and marketed for breweries, including Mispillion River, Refuge, Mikkeller, Modern Times, DuClaw and Societe.

“As a female in the craft beer industry as well, I applaud Megan Stone’s efforts,” DiBella said. “We’re here to support her endeavors, and equally proud to honor and celebrate the amazing efforts our industry has contributed in our new category for Human Rights.”
