Each collaboration team creates its own beer. Any style. Any unique twist. The only stipulation is that the recipe uses the designated Pink Boots Society Brew Day hops blend, which is designed in collaboration and supplied through a partnership with Yakima Chief Hops. This year’s Seattle Pink Boots Society hop blend features the following hop varieties: Idaho Gem, HBC 630, Talus, Triumph, and Loral.
