FREE Tasting Event at Vista Brewing on Sunday, April 26 from 12pm - 3 pm
Join the Austin & San Antonio chapters of the Pink Boots Society to support women in the fermentation industry. Sample a variety of beers and ciders created using the same hop blend. Proceeds from these beers sold around Central Texas benefit the Pink Boots Society and scholarships for women in the fermentation industry.
Check out the list below for a preview of participating breweries and their collab beers (updated as details are known).
The shared element of all of these beers is the Yakima Chief Hops Pink Boots Hop Blend, selected by chapters around the world each year. This year's blend includes MOSAIC® CENTENNIAL HBC 638 EKUANOT. This year’s blend combines tropical citrus and stone fruit notes with herbal and woody accents for a vibrant fruit medley complemented by a soft undertone of white tea and cedar.
Country Malt Group creates a Pink Boots Malt, born from the idea to involve more members of the industry in our efforts to uplift women and non-binary colleagues, as malt is a core ingredient for both brewers and distillers. With each bag purchased, a donation is made to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund to support their mission.

About Pink Boots Society
We are here to ASSIST, INSPIRE, & ENCOURAGE women and/or non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage profession through EDUCATION.
About Collaboration Brew Day
Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day® was born from our members’ desire to take part in International Women’s Day (IWD) March 8th by raising the profile of women’s roles in the beer industry. Chapters and members of Pink Boots Society get together along with supporting breweries and individuals, put on their pink boots, and brew their chosen beer style. Pink Boots Society splits proceeds from sales of this collaboration brew with participating chapters. The revenue is applied to educational scholarships and programming for its members.
About the Yakima Chief Hop Blend
Yakima Chief Hops donates $3 from every pound sold to Pink Boots Society for education and programming. YCH recently presented Pink Boots with a $124,296 check from proceeds from the sale of last year’s hop blend. These funds are used to support our future scholarship efforts.
