How Pink Boots Society is changing the craft beer game for women

By Michael J. Pallerino

Pink Boots Society stands for something. Yes, it's a group of women movers and shakers in the craft beer industry. They own breweries. They package and design beer. They serve beer and write about every aspect of it. And they teach. That's probably the most important part of the whole equation. Each member works to teach one another what they know through seminars and programs. They help each other advance their careers and raise money for educational scholarships.
