Ayla Kapahi is the Director of Production and the Head Brewer for Borderlands Brewing Company. She’s Tucson’s first female head brewer and is an advocate for women and minorities in the craft beer industry. She opened Arizona’s first all-female production facility in 2018 and co-led Las Hermanas project, Arizona’s first US-Mexico binational women’s brew.  Ayla says “Craft beer is about more than what’s in the glass. It’s about celebrating your local community.”
