Time to get stoked because next Friday, March 8, we’re releasing not one, but 𝙩𝙬𝙤 different beers as part of our annual @pinkbootscanada Collaboration Brew and to celebrate the awesomeosity we’re hosting a free entry party & fundraiser for @skippingstoneca from 5pm-11pm.
We don’t have to tell you March 8 is International Women’s Day, a radical working class holiday celebrating Indigenous, racialized, trans, queer, disabled, immigrant and marginalized women, as well as two-spirit and non-binary people who comprise this class. As part of the party, we’re going to have a small Queer/Femme local makers market with some of our faves:
In addition to the market, from 9-10:30 we will be showing the film “Poly Styrene: I am a Cliche” which is the story of Xray Spex’ pioneering punk Poly Styrene - a black woman, a mother, and someone who struggled with their mental health.
Throughout the day, we’ll be selling raffle tickets for prizes generously donated by our vendors to raise money for Skipping Stone, a wonderful local organization connecting trans and gender diverse youth, adults, and families with comprehensive and low barrier access to the support they need and deserve.
Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from beer sales will be given to The Pink Boots Society - an international organization of women and non-binary folks in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry working collectively to support and advance the careers of its members through educational scholarships, committed to advocating for a safe and equitable industry as well as promoting diversity and inclusion.
Come support all these amazing local makers and have yourself a hella fun time! 💅
