he lost everything in a fire… but what rose from the ashes was a movement.
In this jaw-dropping and deeply inspiring episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, we bring you the unfiltered story of Judy Ashworth—a trailblazer who didn’t just pour beer… she poured her soul into an industry that desperately needed a champion.
She fought for small brewers before it was cool, transformed Lyons Brewery Depot into a craft beer mecca, and brought fresh keg beer to the forefront with legendary events like Christmas in July. But when tragedy struck and her pub burned to the ground, Judy’s entire world could’ve ended.
Instead, it ignited something bigger.🔥
The entire beer community—brewers, drinkers, legends—rallied around her. They didn’t just help her rebuild. They helped rewrite the history of American craft beer.
This episode is emotional, powerful, and raw—a true story of grit, passion, legacy, and the unstoppable force of community. Plus, hear how Revision Brewing honored Judy on her 80th birthday with her very own red ale: Pub Lady Pills. 🍻
🚨 If you care about beer, business, resilience, or underdogs who refuse to quit—you NEED to hear this.
