Part of the proceeds from Like A Girl IPA nwill benefit the Pink Boots Wisconsin Chapter to help fund scholarships, educational opportunities and other services to women working in Wisconsin’s beer industry.
At 10 a.m. Monday, the team – Samantha Danen, Amy Rohrschneider and Shaya Leamon – will begin mashing in on the IPA. The Wisconsin chapter leader Steph Smith will also be on hand for the brew day.
Danen, Rohrschneider and Leamon created the Like A Girl IPA recipe, which showcases the citrus, tropical and herbal aromatics of the special 2021 Pink Boots Hop Blend created by Yakima Chief Hops.
