Basa chief executive officer Charlene Louw emphasised the importance of inclusivity, stating: “Beer drinking is not only a social activity that brings people together; it also underpins substantial economic activity that creates jobs and develops skills.” “At events, I was often seen as merely the server while my partner would get asked all the brewing questions,” noted Gemmell.
