SHOUT OUT 🍻💗

Thank you to the many Massachusetts breweries and distilleries for supporting the Pink Boots Society Boston Chapter and the women & non-binary individuals in the fermented beverage industry.

Every collaboration helps bring visibility to our mission, and every donation directly supports our members through education, networking, and community-building.

In 2025, we were able to send two members to New Orleans for the Pink Boots Society Bi-Annual Conference, along with supporting attendance at several local, ticketed educational events.

We’re so grateful — and we look forward to your continued support in 2026 as we plan to send members to the Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia!

Cheers to a great year — thank you for being part of our community! 🥂
