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! 🥂

So excited to have our very own Sarah of Hot Plate Brewing Co. as our Vice President for the Pink Boots Society National Board of Directors for 2026! Congrats! 🎉

🌊 Welcome, Rockport Brewing Company!

Opened in Spring 2025, Rockport Brewing became the first brewery in Rockport, MA — and they’ve been crafting a coastal-inspired beer experience ever since. Their welcoming taproom features a full food menu and beers that “draw inspiration from the rugged beauty of coastal landscapes… each brew capturing the essence of Rockport’s maritime charm.” ⛵️

Their addition brings us to 30 locations and 59 badass members! 👀

We’re thrilled to have them join our mission to assist, inspire, and encourage women and non-binary individuals to advance their careers through education in the fermented beverage industry.

🍻Cheers to growing the Pink Boots community!
