SOUNDBITE (English) Thorey Bjork Halldorsdottir (left) and Ragnheidur Axel Eyjolfsdottir (right), Co-founders of Lady Brewery: Hall-dorsdottir: "Because we are women, brewing beer, that was amazing. And we didn't understand, in the beginning we were like; 'We're just making beer, what are you on about? You know, why is this so...' And then, obviously, what we found out that we were only a couple of women in Iceland making beer." 8. Various of Halldorsdottir and Eyjolfsdottir moving barrels in brewery 9. Various of barrels of 'First Lady' 10. SOUNDBITE (English) Thorey Bjork Halldorsdottir (left) and Ragnheidur Axel Eyjolfsdottir (right), Co-founders of Lady Brewery: Axel: "When we started to research it, we stumbled on it that this was the women's job, and the connection and the symbolism between beer making and witches, and those ale wives - the old ones - are just the Halloween witches. It's just that. So, that was awesome, and we started to use that type of symbolism in our labelling and also in ingredients that we were using, we would research." 11. Various of Halldorsdottir and Eyjolfsdottir pouring beer in brewery 12. SOUNDBITE (English) Thorey Bjork Halldorsdottir (left) and Ragnheidur Axel Eyjolfsdottir (right), Co-founders of Lady Brewery: Axel: "Now, we are getting to know more and more women and brewing, but also just people in brewing. You know, and also different types of diversity of people within the brewing world." Hall-dorsdottir: "I think there are more and more women coming into .... like, since we started, we are getting so many emails and phone calls (from) women who want to brew and they're asking if we can teach them, or if they can follow us for a day or something."

SOUNDBITE (English) Olafur Thorvaldz, Aegisgardur brewery: "If you think of a brewer, I think you do see someone bearded, tattooed and slightly overweight. So, I think it's been a fairly male-dominated scene, but over the past few years, here in Iceland specifically, there have been women coming up and bursting onto the scene. There's at least now two if not three breweries that have women breweries and even women brew masters. So, I think it's opening up, which is a completely fantastic thing."
