The women brewers at Third Space Brewing and the Pink Boots Society are teaming up to commemorate next month’s International Women’s Day by brewing a beer, of course. The annual brew day takes place on Wednesday at 9 a.m. when the group will craft Like A Girl IPA, a beer that benefits the Wisconsin Chapter of Pink Boots. The IPA will be released on tap and in cans during a party on March 8, which is International Women’s Day, at the Third Space taproom (1505 W. St. Paul Ave.).
Third Space has two women brewers on the payroll. Amy Rohrschneider, who will be providing a malt sensory analysis session at the event, has been brewing for Third Space for 3.5 years. Samantha Danen, Chapter Leader of Wisconsin Pink Boots, has been brewing for 2.5 years.
VOTE FOR MILWAUKEE’S BEST BEER!
What’s Brew City’s best? We’ve picked 16 of our favorite Milwaukee craft beers for a March Madness-style tournament, but it’s up to you to pick the winner! Will it be bright and hoppy? Dark and malty? A zippy lager? Every one is worthy of the title; who will claim the sudsy crown?
“The Pink Boots Society was created to empower women beer professionals and help advance their careers in the industry through education. And that’s exactly what this Like A Girl project is all about,” said Danen in a press release from Third Space Brewing. “We bring women together from all over the state to network with one another and to experience first-hand what it’s like to brew beer on a professional level. By doing so, my hope is that days like these are an inspiration for future generations of girls and women, and that doors that have previously felt impossible to get through will open more easily for those to come.”
