Hi friends,
Every year, we look forward to our Pink Boots brew days, when our team gets together and brews a beer in support of Pink Boots Society. (Pink Boots was created to assist, inspire, and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry to advance their careers through education.) This year was no exception!
But you know what's better than one beer? Two beers.
Yes indeed, this year we brewed TWO IPAs using the Pink Boots Hop Blend. These particular hops produce aromas of bubblegum, citrus, pine, and tropical fruit. Intrigued by the blend's unique flavor profile, our brewers wanted to explore two entirely different directions.
Brewnettes Have More Fun Belgian IPA
Belgian yeast produces a ton of bubblegum-like phenols and esters, so the Pink Boots hop blend was the perfect complement to really enhance those bubblegum flavors.
Boot Scootin' Boogie Milkshake-Inspired IPA
Brewed with raspberry and vanilla to help further highlight the sweeter, fruitier side of the hop blend. (PS, why are we calling it a Milkshake "inspired" IPA? Often Milkshake IPAs are brewed with lactose, but not this one! So it's safe for all of our non-dairy-drinkin' friends too.)
The moral of the story? Same hop blend, totally different beers. Our recommendation is to come on by and grab a flight, so you can try both of these beauties side by side.
