Brews and Views December 2015

Half Moon Bay Brewing Company invites members of the community to enjoy a cold brew and a fresh view on American politics and social issues during Brews and Views, the Coastside brewery’s popular speakers’ series. Attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy the breweries’ seasonal menu and special beers.

The Half Moon Bay Brewing Company hosts a special movie screening of “The Mask You Live In,” an exploration of gender stereotypes in children. After starting the influential #AskHerMore campaign in which reporters were encouraged to ask female celebrities more questions about their craft than their style, filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom decided to shed some light on the gender stereotypes that are harmful to young men. “The research is out there that suggests that gender stereotypes are harmful to both our boys and our girls,” Newsom said. “Compared to girls, boys are more likely to be prescribed meds, be diagnosed with a behavior disorder, expelled from school, fail out of school, and binge drink.” Following this thought-provoking film, a discussion and Q&A will be moderated by Lenny Mendonca.

Admission and snacks are complimentary. The full menu will be available for purchase, along with beer, wine and other beverages. Ten percent of the proceeds from all dinner sales at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for this event will be donated to the Cabrillo Education Foundation.

This Brews and Views screening will be taking place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 3 at the Mavericks Event Center, located at 107 Broadway, Half Moon Bay!
