Pink Boots Hops

Pink Boots Blend is a high-impact, proprietary hop combination created annually through a collaborative partnership between Yakima Chief Hops and the Pink Boots Society. This unique blend is more than just a premium brewing ingredient; it is a global mission to empower and support women and non-binary individuals in the fermentation industry, with a portion of the proceeds directly benefiting the society’s scholarship funds. Each year, the "vintage" is determined by society members through a rigorous sensory selection process, ensuring the blend reflects the cutting edge of the Pacific Northwest harvest. It is a professional-grade tool that allows brewers to tell a story of advocacy while delivering world-class aromatics.

The sensory profile of the Pink Boots Blend is a vibrant, multi-layered celebration of modern "fruit-forward" aromatics. While the specific components evolve annually (the 4th Annual Blend, for example, featured a powerhouse mix of Cashmere, Ahtanum^®, Citra^®, Loral^®, and Sabro^™), the signature result is a "juicy" explosion of sweet bubblegum, tropical pineapple, and ripe stone fruit. As the profile develops, brewers will find sophisticated secondary notes of citrus zest, fresh-cut flowers, and a subtle, resinous pine background. Because it is specifically engineered for aroma-intensive styles, it delivers a dense, saturated fruit impact with a remarkably smooth and polished finish.
