PINK BOOTS BREW DAY - Saturday September 7th
|
Member Lisa Allen and the Pacific Northwest Chapter of PBS will host a Pink Boots Brew Day at HeaterAllen Brewery in McMinnville, Oregon USA. Lisa is the Assistant Brewer at her family's
2-person brewery. Lisa designed the recipe for our HeaterAllen Pink Boots Scholarship Sticke Alt.
The beer is a fundraiser for Pink Boots Society, and all money from kegs sold will go directly into PBS's scholarship fund after the excise taxes are paid. We hope to raise over $1,500.
The Best Malz Pilsner and Best Malz Dark Munich malts were donated by Country Malt Group. Lisa is looking for hop and yeast donations. Please contact her at lisa@heaterallen.com if you can donate German hops or German Alt yeast.
Lisa says,"Sticke means secret, and the first Sticke was a mistake but the beer was so popular it became a traditional style of altbier. Sticke is generally darker, stronger, maltier and roastier than a typical Alt. It is fermented cool and maintains a bit of fruitiness on the nose. It is a special beer that is only released twice a year, including each November. Since we are brewing this for our Nov/Dec fundraiser Party, and Sticke is a rare style among craft beers, I thought it would be a great style for the gals to brew together."
All PBS members are invited to join us on this brew, from anywhere in the world! (We already know of one Australian PBS member who will attend.) If you want an e-vite, please drop an email to Emily Engdahl with the title "Invite me to PBS Brew Day" at emily@pinkbootssociety.org.
Also, if you need a place to stay in McMinnville, Oregon on Friday night, Lisa has lots of floor space at her house, so email her at lisa@heaterallen.com and bring a sleeping bag.

THE EMPOWERMENT PROJECT DOCUMENTARY

 A few months ago Sarah Moshman and Dana Michelle Cook of the Empowerment Project, a documentary series about inspirational women who are positive role models, contacted me about appearing in their docu-series. I told them what inspires me are the women in Pink Boots Society! Therefore PBS will be filmed in action September 7 and 8. You can read about their project here: youtube and Heartfelt Productions.
If you plan to attend either of the above filmed events, please wear boots, especially pink boots. The more color the better! See below to buy.

| ARE YOU JUDGE-WORTHY? |
 If you are a beer professional (and hopefully a PBS member), you may have the experience and chops to become a professional beer judge. The requirements are straight forward: How much professional sensory experience and training do you have? That's pretty much the bottom line: Are you Experienced?
|
| MEMBER MEDIA SALES TABLE | |
 We invite PBS members who are beer writers or otherwise produce beer media, to share your beer knowledge, and bring your books, CDs or DVDs to sell at a Member Media Sales Table at any meeting. You will handle your own sales.
No donation is necessary, but because we now have 501(c)3 status, we would appreciate you donating a small proportion of your proceeds from sales at our meeting to PBS's scholarship fund. Please contact teri@pinkbootssociety.org if you want to sell your media. |
|
Pink Boots Society is committed to the advancement of the education of women beer professionals, either by developing educational scholarships, or by hosting educational speakers and seminars at our regional and national meetings. If you are a woman who earns income from beer, I encourage you to join us.
Cheers to you!
