Yakima Chief Hops Unveils New Pink Boots Blend
Yakima, WA — Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) has recently teamed up with the Pink Boots Society (PBS) to launch its latest Pink Boots Blend, aimed at enhancing education and fostering gender diversity within the fermentation industry. This new blend represents a step forward in supporting women and non-binary individuals in the field.
A Flavorful Partnership
The ninth annual Pink Boots Blend features a combination of unique hops: Ekuanot®, Centennial, HBC 638, and Mosaic®. This enticing mix is designed to create a vibrant flavor profile characterized by tropical citrus and stone fruit notes, accented by herbal and woody qualities. According to YCH's Sensory Coordinator, Dominic Wise, the blend offers brewers the chance to explore flavors in innovative yet approachable ways: “By providing expressive citrus alongside grounding base characteristics, the blend empowers brewers to experiment like never before.” Wise noted an exciting delicate aspect in this year's offering that they believe many brewers will appreciate.
Supporting Professional Growth
The purpose of this blend goes beyond just exceptional flavor; YCH proudly donates $1 from each pound sold directly to the Pink Boots Society. This funding supports scholarships, training, and professional opportunities tailored for all members, helping foster growth within the industry. PBS Executive Director Georgina Solis emphasizes the importance of creativity and connectivity among producers of all sizes. She states, “The Pink Boots Blend gives a platform for all of us to keep innovating together.”
A Global Movement
The Pink Boots Society boasts a robust membership of over two thousand individuals spanning 31 countries, united in their mission to support women and non-binary individuals in the fast-paced fermentation and alcoholic beverage fields through educational initiatives.
