About Me

I'm Jenn, and I'm so grateful you're here. My journey has been long, but here's the short version: after struggling with eating disorders (anorexia/bulimia) for nine years and then being overfat for years after that, I discovered weightlifting and everything changed. Strength gains made me feel empowered, I loved the changes to my physique and enjoyed the gym atmosphere and energy.

At some point I attended an event where I tried my first craft beer and IPAs became my new favorite beverage. I learned how to incorporate craft beer into my new healthier lifestyle, attended many rare beer releases at breweries and started collecting beer to share with friends.

I knew there had to be others out there that shared my love for lifting and beer, so in 2015 I started the Barbells & Brewskis FB group. The group became fairly active with people posting their workouts and post workout brewskis, so I decided to put my brand logo on apparel and it was a hit.

Life interrupted (mental health issues, abuse, etc), put B&B on hold for a few years, but now it's back. I’m back.

My original brand was solely barbells and beer, but I've got plenty of other ideas revolving around barbells and TBD...so stay tuned. ;)

Thank you for joining me on this journey! xoxo
