Supporting Women in Brewing: Yakima Chief Hops Donates Over $117,000 to the Pink Boots Society
In a commendable effort to empower women in the brewing industry, Yakima Chief Hops has generously donated $117,807 to the Pink Boots Society, an organization dedicated to advancing educational opportunities for women in the beer sector. This significant contribution stems from the proceeds of the 2020 Pink Boots Hop Blend, which Yakima Chief Hops partnered with Country Malt Group to create.
Based in Yakima, Washington, Yakima Chief Hops has established itself as a leading global supplier of hops. Their collaboration with Country Malt Group aimed at cultivating a unique hop blend that not only enhanced brewers’ creations but also served a greater purpose: funding scholarships specifically designed for women aspiring to excel in the brewing profession.
The Pink Boots Society has been instrumental in encouraging diversity and supporting the professional growth of women in this traditionally male-dominated field. With Yakima Chief Hops’ substantial donation, the society will be able to provide more scholarships, paving the way for talented women to further their production skills, advance their careers, and ultimately contribute to the richness of the craft beer community.
This initiative highlights the importance of collaboration within the industry, showcasing how collective efforts can yield meaningful results. Yakima Chief Hops’ commitment to supporting women in beer serves as an inspiring example for other companies looking to make a positive impact in their fields. As the brewing landscape continues to evolve, such contributions will be vital in shaping a more inclusive future.
Stay tuned for more updates on how industry leaders are coming together to elevate diversity and support within the world of brewing.
