History is full of little known facts that escape even the most well-read among us. For instance, only about 3% of Americans know that the country’s first beer brewers were women, according to a study from Miller Lite.

Ahead of the July Fourth holiday—a beer sales bonanza that tops the Super Bowl—Miller Lite is teaming up with creative shops DDB and Alma as well as PR agency ICF Next to shine the spotlight on the women and non-binary people who have played crucial parts in the industry’s past and present.
