Niko Tonks from Yakima Chief Hops was in town and sat down with Derrick and Jonathan at Karben4 in Madison, WI to talk about the hop supplier, the process of hop selection and how they work with breweries around the globe. Yakima Chief is 100% grower owned.

Yakima Chief is primarily American hops, owned by American hop growers, but they work with hop growers all over the world to produce 35-40% of the domestic hop crop. This equals 30 to 40 million pounds of hops a year!

A unique Women’s Month collaboration of female representatives from the craft beverage industry, the Women’s Beer and Spirits Collective, continues to grow and brew interest. This Midwest collaboration of females in the brewery industry expanded this year to include more breweries and, new this year, three spirits companies as well. Spanning the Midwest, with the concentration of support in the Milwaukee, WI-area, this collaboration’s mission is to raise awareness of females in the male-dominated craft beer and spirits industry while raising funds for select nonprofit organizations.

Derrick and Jonathan were joined by Julianna Pierandozzi with 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. (Sheboygan, WI) and Maggie Skinner with Revolution Brewing (Chicago, IL) to talk about all the Women's Month events and ways you can support this industry through March and beyond!

With the goal of raising $10,000, the initiative is an ongoing supporter of Milwaukee-based Sojourner Family Peace Center (familypeacecenter.org), the largest nonprofit provider of domestic violence prevention and intervention services in Wisconsin. This year the female-led crew will also donate a portion of the funds raised to: 

• Pink Boots Society - an international organization that aims to assist, inspire and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry to advance their careers through education. The organization was started by Teri Fahrendorf of Wisconsin - one of the first women to enter the craft brewing industry.
• Safe Harbor Sheboygan - provides services to reach out to those affected by sexual assault and domestic abuse; provide support to those in crisis; and to educate individuals, families and the community, with the tools needed to empower them to live lives free of domestic abuse and sexual assault.
• Sunshine Place of Sun Prairie - a nonprofit organization that cultivates community connections to spread rays of hope for individuals, families, and children in need. 
• DAiS (Domestic Abuse Intervention Services) of Madison - works to make Dane County a safer, more just, more equitable place for people who have experienced domestic violence, their children, and the people who love them.
   

Fundraising opportunities include:

• Attend and support at an onsite events (see schedule below)
• Several grocery and liquor stores will display participating breweries’ products with a special Women’s Month Display with QR Code for online donations. 
• Point-of-purchase donation displays at various bars and restaurants
• Donations can also be made online at www.familypeacecenter.org/donate.

ABOUT WOMEN’S BEER AND SPIRITS COLLECTIVE:

A collaboration led by female beverage industry representatives in timing with Women’s Month in March to raise awareness for females in a male-dominated craft beer industry that in turn raises money for anyone affected by domestic violence. In 2022, the inaugural Women’s Month collaboration effort of females in the brewery industry was led by five representatives supporting the 11 events that raised $2,119. The 2023 goal was set at $4,000 with breweries committed to match donations (up to $2,000). Last year’s effort raised $8,000 through its 23 events and corresponding efforts.
