Episode 141: Pink Boots Society w/ Paulina Olivares & Bia Hoskins (Blaker Brewing/Drake's: The Barn)

Host Ben Rice sits down (virtually) with Sacramento Pink Boots Society members Paulina Olivares and Bia Hoskins (Blaker Brewing/Drake's: The Barn) to talk about the 2021 Pink Boots Society brew days and beer releases (hint: Check out Capital Taproom AKA CapTap April 17 for a tap takeover and some mixed 4 packs). In addition to the history of Pink Boots and the beer releases, we also talk about recent loosening of membership requirements, this year's proprietary hop blend, the various scholarship programs available to members, and the Women's International Beer Summit (happening April 24-25). Plus! We all miss MySpace playlists, high school reunions, COVID's Clark Kent Effect, and why men and women view murder podcasts and shows completely differently. And so much talk about empathy, new and old fighting styles, the discreet sadness and terror of Marvel movies, and distinct walks. If you think there's more than that... you're right. On the latest episode of Barley & Me.
