Pink Boots Society promotes women brewers

First steps: The Pink Boots Society grew out of a 2007 road trip taken by Oregon brewmaster Teri Fahrendorf. Carrying a pair of pink brewer’s boots, she visited dozens of breweries and discovered that many women working in the industry were unaware of one another, but wanted a way to connect and form a community. According to the society’s website, the name stands for: Passion, Integrity & Inspiration, Networking, Knowledge, Beer & Brewing, Opportunity, Open Exchange of Ideas, Teach and Success
