ERIKA CHAVEZ | PINK BOOTS CHAPTER LEADER
Inspired by FemAle Brew Fest and the amazing ladies that participated in the event, Erika decided to contact PBS and inquire about getting involved with the organization. She is now the chapter leader for Pink Boots Society- Florida since its inception in June 2017. Erika began her beer journey last year working for MIA Beer Co. She currently works as the Special Events Coordinator for Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park, FL. ORLANDO SENTINEL | More local women seek a career in beer “Craft beer is definitely a male-centric environment,” said Erika Chavez, president of the Florida Chapter of the Pink Boots Society and event coordinator for Funky Buddha Brewery in South Florida. “That’s why we formed. We’re doing what we can to bring more women in and give them a path to where they want to go.” Beer isn’t typically marketed to women, she said, and women have often been pushed to wines or other alcoholic beverages. |
