Philadelphia, PA — A NEW POUR is a craft beverage festival showcasing offerings from members of Pink Boots Society Philadelphia. Created to celebrate craft, community, and diversity in the beverage industry, the festival will feature a hand-selected lineup of vendors pouring beer, cider, wine, and other fermented and distilled beverages. Held in Philadelphia during the city’s 2026 250th celebration year, A NEW POUR highlights the people, creativity, and community that make the region’s craft beverage scene so distinctive.

Held on the eve of the Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia, A NEW POUR offers visiting industry professionals, local beverage lovers, and supporters of Pink Boots Society a chance to gather, learn, and celebrate before CBC begins the following day. CBC 2026 is scheduled for April 20–22, 2026, in Philadelphia.

Guests can also enjoy local food trucks, live music, and opportunities to connect with fellow craft beverage enthusiasts. Educational panels and seminars throughout the day will highlight industry professionals making a positive impact and helping shape a more inclusive future for fermentation and hospitality.

Proceeds from A NEW POUR benefit scholarships provided by the Pink Boots Society, whose mission is to assist, inspire, and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry through education and career development.

Jacqueline Rice, of Sly Fox Brewing Company and a Pink Boots Society member helping organize A NEW POUR, shared: “The fermentation beverage industry creates and anchors the community. Pubs and inns have long been gathering places—spaces that nurtured ideas, organized movements, and brought people comfort. As part of this industry, we continue that tradition by creating welcoming spaces while perfecting our craft. We craft for our community. Let’s raise each other, one pour at a time.”
