Yakima Chief Hops Launches New Pink Boots Blend

In a spirited occasion marking the advancement of gender diversity within the fermentation industry, Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) has unveiled its latest Pink Boots Blend, in collaboration with the Pink Boots Society (PBS). Designed to support women and non-binary individuals in the brewing world, this new blend aims to empower professionals through education and career resources.

The 9th Annual Pink Boots Blend showcases a unique combination of hop varieties, including Ekuanot®, Centennial, HBC 638, and Mosaic®. This year’s creation introduces a delightful medley of tropical citrus and stone fruit notes, beautifully layered with herbal and woody undertones, culminating in a vibrant taste experience. Dominic Wise, YCH's Sensory Coordinator, emphasized the balance offered by this blend, stating, “With its expressive citrus profile complemented by grounding characteristics, brewers can explore flavors in a way that feels both accessible and innovative.” He added that the soft, delicate aspect of this blend holds great promise, igniting excitement among brewers to experiment.

A hallmark of this initiative is YCH's commitment to social responsibility. For every pound of the Pink Boots Blend sold, one dollar will be donated directly to the Pink Boots Society, funding scholarships, training, and professional opportunities for its members. Georgina Solis, PBS's Executive Director, remarked on the significance of this collaboration, noting, “As the industry evolves, the Pink Boots Blend provides producers of all sizes with an opportunity to remain creative and connected. It’s not just about participation scale; it’s about the commitment to continue innovating together.”

This initiative transcends taste; it aims to strengthen the brewing industry as a whole and foster professional growth for women and non-binary talents. The Pink Boots Society, counting over 2,000 members across 31 countries, is unwavering in its mission to support the education and career advancements of women and non-binary individuals in the thriving fermentation and alcohol sectors. Release of the Pink Boots Blend directly supports this mission by equipping brewers and producers with a high-quality product that unlocks avenues for creative exploration.
