Pink Boots Society NZ
What is Pink Boots?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Pink Boots Society (PBS) is a non-profit organisation with international membership which supports women and non-binary people working in the fermented beverages and allied industries. The majority of its members are involved with craft beer. The organisation helps women fermented beverage professionals advance their careers through educational opportunities, as well as mentorship, networking with other women in the profession, and raising awareness of women in these male-dominated industries. PBS also encourages women brewers to further their education and helps teach the skills needed to become beer judges. PBS raises money for scholarships for women to continue their education in brewing. There are around 2,500 members across the world.
