SHEBOYGAN — Women’s Beer and Spirits Collective — a Women’s Month collaboration of female representatives is expanding to include more breweries and, new this year, three spirits companies are on board to support.
Spanning the Midwest, the collaboration’s mission is to raise awareness of females in the male-dominated craft beer and spirits industry while raising funds for select nonprofit organizations.
“We are excited for year three of our women’s month events,” Julianna Pierandozzi, sales representative of 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. in Sheboygan, said. “We have new faces, new companies and new partners to execute our goal of bringing women in the industry together and raising money for Sojourner Family Peace Center. We will have almost 40 unique events throughout the month for people to participate in and support our cause.”
This year, the female-led crew will also donate a portion of the funds raised to:
Pink Boots Society — which helps women and non-binary individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry advance their careers through education.Safe Harbor Sheboygan — provides services to reach out to those affected by sexual assault and domestic abuse; provide support to those in crisis; and educates individuals, families and the community, with the tools needed to empower them to live lives free of domestic abuse and sexual assault

The number of breweries has grown from the inaugural five breweries in 2022 to 14 breweries in 2024.
As an inaugural coalition supporter, Pierandozzi said 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. continues to be a pillar of this Women’s Month initiative.
Each month, the brewery selects a nonprofit organization to support, ranging from food pantries to the humane society to organizations like those selected by the Women’s Beer and Spirits Collective.
This year, Pierandozzi said the specialty 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. beer, Lady Lupulin IPA, will be featured throughout March, which was crafted by female cellar team member Kate Thomma.
The brewery will donate 50 cents per pint sold at the taproom to Safe Harbor of Sheboygan.
“I am honored to again be a part of this year’s Pink Boots brewing collaboration,” Thomma said. “This year, we decided to do something a little different from last year. We will be including the IPA, which we are calling Lady Lupulin, into the 3 Sheeps Hop Pack.”
