The New Brew Crew: Women Shaping Madison’s Craft Beer Scene
By Kevin Revolinski | Photos by: Steph Shanks Photography (left), Shanna Wolf (middle), Hillary Schave (right) A California native, DeAnda-Reyna was driven to brewing by curiosity. She started as the only woman on the packaging team at a local brewery. She filled kegs for eight hours a day, scrubbed mold out of drains and tanks, and picked caps and crowns off the line until her fingers bled.
