Abstract

Training on the Processing and Innovation of Beer Mataram to Empower Women’s Groups (PKK) and Enhance the Tourism Appeal of Pendowoharjo Cultural Village, Bantul.

Traditional cuisine is an integral part of cultural heritage and has the potential to support the development of culture-based tourism. This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of members of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) group in Monggang Hamlet, Pendowoharjo Village, in processing and developing innovations in Beer Mataram, a traditional herbal beverage from Bantul Regency. The method employed was a participatory workshop involving demonstrations and hands-on practice, with evaluation conducted through observation and questionnaires. The activity was attended by 20 PKK members who actively participated throughout the training. The results showed an improvement in participants’ understanding of the selection of ingredients, processing techniques, and presentation of Beer Mataram. Hands-on practice effectively enhanced participants’ skills, while they also demonstrated high levels of satisfaction and enthusiasm. This activity contributed to strengthening community capacity and supporting the development of Pendowoharjo Cultural Village as a culture-based tourism destination.
