In British Columbia there is no shortage of women in beer so when the call for a Collaboration Brew came from the Pink Boots Society in the US, a group of Victoria female brewers answered. On International Woman’s Day the group will meet to brew up a special brew up Unite Pale Ale to raise the profile of women in the industry and to raise the profile of beer to women
Meeting in Victoria’s at Spinnakers Brewing will be Kim Marrington and Kala Hadfield from Spinnakers, Claire Connolly from Dogwood Brewing, Becky Julseth from Salt Spring Brewing, and some of the crew from Driftwood to brew up a pale session-style beer
Follow the event on the International Women’s Day web site
