Originally brainstormed by Sophie de Ronde and  brewsters of Project Venus in the UK, the first annual #IWCBD was promoted by Social Media Queen Denise Ratfield of Pink Boots Society. In 2014, over a hundred women donned their pink and various hued boots to brew at approximately 70 breweries that day. There are photos galore on Twitter @IWCBD and Facebook.
For this event, we as brewsters wanted to raise the awareness of women in the brewing industry. We are dedicated brewers, making top quality beer and we want to make a difference in how beer is promoted and perceived around the world.
As part of this event we wished to donate proceeds of the beer’s earnings to charities, the Pink Boots Society and another charity of the brewers’ choice. The Pink Boots Society is a USA-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with an international membership, and helps women further their beer careers through scholarships and the educational programs PBS provides. The second charity could be of the brewers’ choice, making the beer more meaningful to her or his local consumers.

This idea originated with Sophie de Ronde of Brentwood Brewing Company, Essex, UK who was also the initial event organizer. Sophie is a member of Project Venus UK & Eire, who are also Pink Boots Society members. Project Venus was founded by Sara Barton, owner and Brewmaster of Brewster’s Brewery in Grantham, UK. She was the first woman winner of the coveted UK Brewer of the Year Award, given by the British Guild of Beer Writers.
The International Event Organizer is Denise Ratfield of Stone Brewing. Denise is also the Pink Boots Society – Social Media Committee Chair.
