We strive to create fun and original events all year round. We're more than just Beer Week — we’re beer all year!”

Who Are the Pink Boots Society?
The Pink Boots are the female movers and shakers in the beer industry. We get the beer brewed and fermented with the highest possible quality. We also own breweries, package the beer, design beers, serve beers, write about beer, and cover just about any aspect of beer, and we are all women. 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.
