The Pink Boots Society (PBS) is a non-profit organization with international membership which supports women working in the brewing profession, especially in creating craft beer. The organization helps women brewers meet mentors, have the opportunity to network with other women in the profession and raises awareness of women in brewing. PBS also encourages women brewers to further their education and helps teach the skills needed to become beer judges. PBS raises money for scholarships for women to continue their education in brewing. There are around 1,800 members across the world.
We are the movers and shakers in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry. We get the brew and ferment beverages to the highest possible quality. We also own breweries, package beverages, design and serve beverages, write industry content, and cover just about any aspect of the fermented/alcoholic beverages industry. Most importantly, we teach each other what we know through our own seminar programs, and we help each other advance our beer careers by raising money for educational scholarships.
What we do: Collaboration Brew Days, beer events, social events, scholarships, educational opportunities.
How you can get involved: If you identify as a woman in the fermented beverage industry you can join! Paid members have access to international online events and scholarships.
