The women behind Penticton91Ƶs craft beers are back for their second annual celebration of International Women91Ƶs Day.
In collaboration with the Pink Boots Society, the women of Slackwater Brewing came together to brew up the 91ƵMaking Waves91Ƶ Pineapple Rye Saison.
The brew was canned on Feb. 25 in order to make it to shelves across the province by International Women91Ƶs Day on March 8.
Assistant brewer Carri Kemp led the team in making the brew, with the ladies of Slackwater Brewing working together on Jan. 26 to put it all together.
The brew uses the Pink Boots hop blend as the base, which this year had a citrus, tropical, herbal and woody taste mix.
91ƵI started with pineapple. As many people know I have a love for the fruit and I thought it would be fun to use in the first beer I had my hands on,91Ƶ said Kemp.
91Ƶ91ƵMaking Waves91Ƶ as the name feels fitting, as more and more women are breaking into this industry and that91Ƶs what we are here to do.91Ƶ
Last year, Slackwater Brewing contributed the 91ƵNew Boots, Who Dis?91Ƶ brew to the celebration of International Women91Ƶs Day in Penticton.
91ƵPink Boots is an excellent way to showcase the hard work, talent and achievements that women continue to make every day in the brewing industry,91Ƶ said Kelsey Peyton, co-founder of Slackwater Brewing.
The Pink Boots Society was founded to 91Ƶassist, inspire and encourage91Ƶ women in the industry of fermented beverages, most specifically beer. Every year, breweries across the globe participate in the annual collaboration beer, using the 91ƵPink Boots Blend91Ƶ of hops.
Part of the proceeds from the sale of 91ƵMaking Waves91Ƶ will be donated to the Pink Boots Society.
