The Devil's in the draught lines

Dr. Christina Wade is a historian specialising in Irish and UK beer history. She is currently writing two books: one on the history of beer in Ireland from medieval alewives to the modern craft beer movement; and the other on the history of brewing women in the UK, both will be published in 2024. Wade currently serves as one of the Chicago Brewseum's League of Historians and has just launched Beyond the Black Stuff, a beer history walking tour of Dublin. She has blogged extensively about beer history on her own website, Braciatrix.com, which was recently nominated for an Irish Food Writing Award 2022.
