On Wednesday, September 17, Sydney Brewery Alexandria proudly hosted the annual NSW Brew Day in partnership with Pink Boots Society Australia.

 

The event brought together brewers, industry professionals, and supporters for a full day of hands-on brewing, education, and community building. All in support of scholarships and programs for women and non-binary people in the fermentation industry.

 

The program featured a hop sensory experience with Jade from Ryefield Hops, a beer and cider dessert pairing session, and meals provided throughout the day. Attendees engaged in meaningful conversations, skill-sharing, and collaborative brewing in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

A highlight of the day was the collaborative brew: La Chispa, a bold Spanish sour created in partnership with Pink Boots Society Australia. La Chispa is here to celebrate rebellion, courage, and voices that refuse to be silenced. Brewed as a bold Spanish Sour with bright, zesty fruit flavours and a lively tartness, this beer transforms bitterness into strength and blazes a path toward a brighter, bolder future. Every sip is a spark of courage, a reminder to champion women, non-binary disruptors, and those who ignite change in the beer industry.

 

La Chispa will be canned and released this year, with a portion of proceeds supporting Pink Boots Society Australia scholarships and education programs, fueling the next generation of trailblazers in fermentation.

 

NSW Brew Day continues to serve as a platform for promoting equity and access within the brewing industry. Sydney Brewery extends its thanks to all attendees, volunteers, and partners who made the day a success.
