Yakima Chief Hops is thrilled to release its 2nd Annual Pink Boots Blend, alongside the Pink Boots Society, an international nonprofit organization supporting women in the brewing profession. Available for a limited time to commercial brewers, this seasonal proprietary hop blend celebrates women in the beer and brewing industries, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Pink Boots Society scholarship funds.

美国雅基玛酒花有限公司难抑兴奋之情，与粉红靴子协会（Pink Boots Society）共同发布第二届的粉红靴子混合酒花(Pink Boots Blend)。粉红靴子协会是一个国际性的非营利组织，旨在支持酿造行业的女性从业人员。这款季节性的专利酒花为限量销售，其中部分的盈利将捐献给粉红靴子协会的奖学基金。

Each year, Yakima Chief Hops staff and Pink Boots Society members gather around a table filled with a wide variety of hop samples during the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. The team carefully rubs, smells and experiences each hop sample, and decides on the recipe for the blend to be released the following year. The Pink Boots Blend is then released to registered brewers prior to International Women’s Day on March 8^th, and brewers are encouraged to create their own celebratory brews.

每年，雅基玛酒花的员工与粉红靴子协会的会员们都会在丹佛的大美国啤酒节(Great American Beer Festival)相聚，大家围坐在一个堆满各式啤酒花样品的桌子上，一起细心搓糅样品，嗅闻和感受酒花特有的香气和风味，热烈讨论并决定翌年混种酒花的配方。其后粉红靴子协会将在每年的三月八日国际妇女节发放给登记的酿酒师，鼓励她们去创造出自己独特的节日产品。

Sales proceeds from the 2018 Pink Boots Blend contributed approximately $40,000 for the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund, helping to offer educational opportunities to women in the beer and brewing industries. Educational opportunities include technical and non-technical seminars, courses and tours that empower women to advance their careers in beer and brewing professions. Scholarship opportunities are open to women anywhere in the world who are actively employed in the beer industry.

2018年的粉红靴子酒花贡献了约$40,000到粉红靴子协会的奖学基金，这笔奖金是用来为酿造产业的女性从业人员提供更多的教育机会，包含技术性与非技术性的研讨会，以及能增加在啤酒与酿造专业知识的课程与游学，全球所有活跃在啤酒产业中的女性均可申请该项奖学金。

The upcoming Pink Boots Blend consists of a well-rounded mix of Pacific Northwestern hop varieties, including Loral®, Mosaic®, Simcoe®, Sabro™ and Glacier. The combination creates a high aroma hop blend that contributes citrus, earthy and fruity aroma and flavor characteristics to beers. The blend is produced and sold by Yakima Chief Hops as traditional T90 hop pellets with limited availability, and $3 per pound sold will be donated to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund.

今年的粉红靴子酒花将由丽影（Loral®）, 马赛克（Mosaic®）, 西姆科（Simcoe®）, 夏洛（Sabro™） 与冰河（Glacier）等太平洋西北部酒花品种的精心混合制成，这款高香气的混合酒花，能为啤酒带来柑橘味、泥土香气与果香等丰富味道。产品为90型颗粒，由雅基玛酒花公司负责销售，限量供应，每卖出1磅将会捐出3美元给粉红靴子协会的奖学基金。

Yakima Chief Hops is proud to partner with the Pink Boots Society for a second year on this special seasonal hop blend. We are passionate about promoting diversity in both the hop and beer industries, and hope that our brewing customers will take this opportunity to do the same. We encourage you to get creative and create a tasty brew in celebration of International Women’s Day, and hope this will be a brewing industry tradition for years to come.

雅基玛酒花公司非常荣幸能够与粉红靴子协会再次合作，我们对推动酒花和啤酒工业的多样性抱着极大的热情，我们也希望我们的客户们能够利用这个机会，将这份激情分享出去。我们鼓励您在国际妇女节发挥创意，酿造一款美妙、好喝的啤酒，也希望这个活动能在不久的将来，成为酿造产业的一个宝贵的传统。
