Deb Carey raised the capital to establish Wisconsin's New Glarus Brewing Company in 1993, making her one of the first U.S. women to found and operate a brewery. Under Deb’s leadership, New Glarus has become a national icon as one of the largest U.S. craft breweries by volume despite its local, in-state focus. She combines business management and brewing professionalism to run her brewery on foundations of individuality, cooperation, and the use of 100 percent natural ingredients.
