Rabid Brewing Hosting Women’s Collaboration Brew Day

HOMEWOOD, IL — Rabid Brewing in Homewood will host this year's Women's Collaboration Brew Day for the Chicago chapter of the Pink Boots Society, an international organization that supports female brewers. The brew day will be on Friday, March 6 at the brewery at 17759 Bretz Drive in Homewood.

"I'm beside myself," Rabid Brewing Owner Raiye Rosado said. "I love throwing a good party and brew days, so what a perfect way to combine two loves."

Rosado said many of the top "movers and shakers" in the Chicago brewing world will be at the Homewood brewery and "are excited to brew beer with us."

The beer that will be brewed in honor of the 2020 International Women's Day two days later will be a juicy kveik IPA that will be served at many of the top breweries in Chicagoland including Rabid.

“Being part of Pink Boots Society gives women the opportunity to forge relationships with other women from breweries throughout the Chicagoland area.” Rosado said. “Women’s Collaboration Brew Day is about celebrating those relationships and the collective impact that we have on the industry.”

Pink Boots Society splits proceeds from sales of this collaboration brew with participating chapters, according to a news release. The revenue is applied to educational scholarships and programming for its members.
