In honour of International Women香蕉视频直播檚 Day, on March 8, Tin Whistle brewed up a Pink Boots hazy pale ale beer brewed by women, in support of women. But Penticton香蕉视频直播檚 oldest brewery didn香蕉视频直播檛 stop there, it invited local female high school science students to be part of the beer-making process.

Before the industrial age, women were society香蕉视频直播檚 beer brewers, but now there are no women brewers at Penticton香蕉视频直播檚 eight breweries, said Tin Whistle co-owner Alexis Esseltine.

香蕉视频直播淲hat are we going to do about it? Inspire the next generation,香蕉视频直播� said Esseltine.

香蕉视频直播淲e invited three local high school science students to join brew day. If we want to bring more women into beer we need to expose them to this incredible industry. When I grew up in rural Ontario I was a high school science nerd, but all I knew of science careers were the traditional nurse and doctor roles,香蕉视频直播� Esseltine said.

香蕉视频直播淗ere we are in an industry full of science from yeast biology through to alcohol chemistry and we need young women to know there is an incredible career for them here.香蕉视频直播�

Pink Boots has given over $200,000 in scholarships since the program香蕉视频直播檚 inception nine years ago.

香蕉视频直播淚t is important for us to come together to raise awareness and funds for Pink Boots Society Canada a non-profit organization helping women and non-binary folk in the alcohol industry advance their careers through education,香蕉视频直播� said Lundy Dale, Pink Boots Canada BC Representative.

Tin Whistle香蕉视频直播檚 Pink Boots Hazy pale ale label was woman-designed, and printing was generously donated by Summit Labels.

This new hazy pale ale is a juicy, smooth, tropical hazy pale ale and will be available for sale starting March 15 in private and government liquor stores throughout the Okanagan Valley, as well as in the brewery香蕉视频直播檚 historic Penticton taproom at the Cannery Trade Centre at 1475 Fairview Rd.

A portion of proceeds from each beer sold supports Pink Boots Society Canada.
