Drinking beer is a common choice for many, but it can quickly become an expensive habit. Beyond the cost, it often leaves one feeling bloated and heavy, and the calorie count can be surprisingly high and hard to track. Making mindful decisions about what and how much to drink is important. On ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ season 17, episode 14, Beer Girl presented their product, demonstrating a solution that addresses these concerns. It presented a way to enjoy beer without the usual heaviness, excessive calories, and cost, which makes it a smarter, more manageable choice for consumers.
Beer Girl: Who Are They and What Do They Do?
Caroline Renezeder Foulk’s path in her career shows a lifelong love for music and entrepreneurship. She studied Narrative Studies at the University of Southern California from 2015 to 2018, where she was active in Kappa Kappa Gamma, and also earned a Certificate in Real Estate Finance from Cornell University’s American University program in Paris in 2014–2015. Professionally, Renezeder founded Illuminate Creative Group in 2017, a production company that empowers young artists to bring their musical vision to life. She began her music career at just 14, self-releasing her first single at 18, and later collaborated with Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd on her debut single “Show Me” in 2017.
Under her leadership, Illuminate Creative Group produced immersive events, including Hollywood’s Quixote Studios debut for Grace’s EP Afraid of the Dark, and managed tours with artists such as KYLE, Marc E. Bassy, and Tobi Lou. Concurrently, she has served as Head of Marketing at Wagon Wheel Brewing Company since 2020, leveraging her creative and strategic skills to grow the brand. Her experience with Wagon Wheel and the family farm revealed an unmet need that many people love beer but find it heavy or difficult to enjoy regularly.
After being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, Renezeder sought a healthier, approachable alternative. This inspired the creation of Beer Girl, a refreshing lager brewed with corn instead of wheat. The product is naturally sugar-free, gluten-reduced, low in calories, and has a 3.5% ABV, making it a lighter option. Beer Girl reflects Renezeder’s commitment to thoughtful, functional products that combine wellness and enjoyment, allowing beer lovers to indulge without the drawbacks of traditional heavy beers.
