This year’s version of our Pink Boots collaboration is a Czech-style amber lager inspired by our brewer’s love for her Czech grandparents. Its orangey color is for the big orange sunglasses her grandma wore, the addition of black tea a nod to her grandpa’s favorite poolside drink. Its flavor is a big hug of grain, caramel, and brown sugar notes with a subtly floral finish.
Upword Movement is designed to raise awareness of the Maine chapter of the Pink Boots Society, whose aim is to assist, inspire, and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry to advance their careers through education. We’re donating proceeds from this beer to local nonprofits dedicated to improving gender equity.
