The Pink Boots Society: Women & Non-Binary Beverage Pioneers in New Hampshire

May 2, 2023

pink boots society

Few have escaped the catchy song, “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” but did you know that in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire, there’s a group that is putting boots on the ground in the growing brewing industry? 

The Pink Boots Society is a global non-profit that takes powerful strides by assisting, inspiring, and encouraging women and non-binary individuals that are making their mark in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry via education. Today, we’re going to introduce you to the New Hampshire chapter creator and co-owner of One Love Brewery, Jennifer Snyder.

one love brewery

The Beginning

Jennifer’s initial brewing adventure began with her husband. “My husband has been a professional brewer for over 20 years, he lured me in. You know what they say, ‘a family that brews together stays together’ – it’s a family affair,” she said. 

While she was brewing before Pink Boots, Jennifer was first introduced to The Society by Teri Fahrendorf, the original founder of the non-profit. 

Of Teri and Pink Boots she said, “Her energy just lights up a room. I met her at the BA Conference in Denver, where a Pink Boots Meeting took place. That was my first Pink Boots Meeting. Women from all over the world were there. It was so inspirational, as we are a mostly male-dominated industry.”

pink boots society

Events with The Society

The Pink Boots Society holds group events that welcome others to participate. “When we brew on International Women’s Day it typically begins in New Zealand and follows the sun around the world with women brewing. 

“We are inclusive, anyone can brew with us that day. It’s just a really fun community event. Every pint of the Pink Boots Brew is a donation and is given to the Society,” said Jennifer. 

Jennifer feels that the awareness her Society work raises is her greatest achievement to date. She said, “The Society raises money for education and training for women all over the world. To be able to advocate for women in our industry is extremely rewarding.”

And Jennifer isn’t alone in the White Mountains area when it comes to Pink Boots work. Other members include Woodstock Inn Brewery’s General Manager, Molly Rice Norby and Twin Barns Brewing’s General Manager, Alisha Wendelboe.

Women-led Brewing 

As a woman, Jennifer appreciates the opportunity to brew and the time in which she is brewing. “We are entering an exciting era in brewing where more women are moving into the art of brewing. As our industry is becoming less of a ‘boys club’ – which is refreshing. 

Many breweries have traditionally advertised beer by objectifying women. That is being cleaned up a lot. I am proud to be a part of this time in our industry. Women are deemed to be the drivers in consumer decisions – it’s great that marketing is becoming more about the beer than pretty girls,” she said.  

As an example of how the industry is changing, Jennifer cited a recent Miller Lite initiative. They’re actually buying back their past outdated advertising and using it to create the forward-facing future of female brewing.

Advice to Others

Jennifer is passionate about pulling in more female-identifing brewers. She knows the value of continued inclusion. 

‘We need more people like you who are naturally curious about the evolution of the brewing industry. Brewing is as ancient as history and with today’s brewing techniques combined with consumer-driven passion, it’s evolving even faster than ever,” she said. 

A positive force to be reckoned with, Jennifer challenges others to step up and make the most of their lives and careers. “Don’t let anyone hold you back, it’s a great career path and industry. We literally have the best people in our industry – how can you be unhappy when you get to create beer?” she said.

pink boots society

A Day in the Life 

While her work with The Society itself is important, Jennifer is a busy brewer every day. “As co-owner of One Love – there are many many hats (oh so many) to wear every day. I can be found anywhere from the brewery, to working in the kitchen, to greeting guests. I love being able to work in all aspects of the daily operations,” she said. 

That busyness is only matched by the popularity and variety of her beers. While One Love started their brewery with a beer called Dunkle, it’s their Helles that keeps her customers coming back thirsty.

Pro Tip! One Love Brewery specializes in creative pub food alongside beer. Jennifer loves to pair an IPA with the firecracker nachos. We highly recommend giving them a try when you visit.

Crafting Something Special

It’s the grind and sharing that make brewing special for Jennifer. “It’s extremely rewarding to be able to make beer. For sure it’s hard work but to be able to share a beer with friends that we made is incredible. Many bigger breweries are all automated at this point. Being a small craft brewery we still get to roll up our sleeves and get a little sweaty brewing,” she said. 

And the connections she’s made keep inspiring her to do better and better. “I love connecting with our guests and community. I love the creativity of the industry and the fast pace. I also adore my peers, they are for the most part the kindest down-to-earth humans you will ever find,” she said.

Fun Fact! Naming beer at One Love Brewery is a fun process. They use a lot of local references and avoid taking themselves too seriously. “Some beers are named after beats like ‘Untz, Untz, Untz’ ( think German disco beat), and ‘Rue La La is named after one of our pups.’ ‘Al’s Still Here’ is named after my Dad who helped us start the brewery and passed away soon after,” said Jennifer.

Visiting One Love Brewery

One Love Brewery is certainly about incredible beer and tasty food, but they also have musical entertainment with many varied styles. Likely ones you haven’t heard! “Most of our musicians are very local. A few years back we had a ‘Bones Band.’ Yep – they played percussion with real bones!” said Jennifer. 

The brewery is located at 25 South Mountain Drive in Lincoln, New Hampshire. We hope you’ll stop by for a beer, food, and fun while you’re in the White Mountains!

White Mountain Bicycle Week: Explore the Mountains on Two Wheels

May 2, 2023

Ride into the White Mountain Bicycle Week  and Explore on Two Wheels this Memorial Day weekend. New Hampshire is now home to not one but two awesome bike weeks to enjoy. Starting May 27th, the small mountain towns of Lincoln, Woodstock, and Franconia Notch are coming together to celebrate everything bicycle-related in the Western White Mountains while supporting regional non-profits. Whether you prefer the road or the trail, there is something for all cyclists during White Mountain Bicycle Week.

White Mountain Bicycle Week runs from Saturday, May 27th through Saturday, June 3rd. Each day features a special “Featured Ride” or bicycle-related event that will give you a chance to try many of the various biking trails and routes throughout the Western White Mountains. Many of the rides are led by local business owners and cycling enthusiasts. Downhill mountain biking will also be available at Loon Mountain at their state-of-the-art downhill mountain biking course. And stay tuned for over four miles of new terrain opening up later this summer!

WhiteMtnBicycleWeek6

WhiteMtnBicycleWeek5

 

Throughout the week, many activities support local non-profit organizations like The Bridge Project and Lincoln Woodstock Friends of Recreation. The Bridge Project supports those who are vulnerable in the Lincoln-Woodstock communities by connecting them with individual and group support networks. Lincoln Woodstock Friends of Recreation promotes community involvement and support for the broadening of services and activities for all ages in the community.

 

WhiteMtnBicycleWeek1

Bike Week also supports the environment and encourages people to try commuting by bicycle to either work or school throughout the week. For those that live a little too far away from work (or over the mountains!), you can park at one of the local participating “safe parking lot” locations and ride your bike from there.

WhiteMtnBicycleWeek4

The White Mountain Bicycle Week is an inclusive event and children and adults who might not be able to ride a traditional two-wheeled bicycle can enjoy a bike ride using adaptive equipment with New England Disabled Sports. Check out their cycling schedule here.

WhiteMtnBicycleWeek2

As the White Mountain Bicycle Week gets closer, more information on the featured rides and other events will become available. May is a beautiful time to visit the Western White Mountains and exploring the region on two wheels is a great opportunity to get closer to natural beauty while getting a little exercise!

Laconia Motorcycle Week® Returns for its 100th Year

April 26, 2023

laconia bike week

Summer is on the horizon and with it will come one of New Hampshire’s favorite, longest-running traditions – Laconia Motorcycle Week®. The dates for this year’s motorcycle rally are June 10-18, 2023 and the schedule is actively taking shape. 

With it being their 100th year and the fact that this is the world’s oldest motorcycle rally, outpacing other extremely popular rides like Daytona, Florida, and Sturgis, South Dakota, the excitement is palpable. Hundreds of thousands of people come every year to be a part of this historic rally and we expect that this anniversary year will be no exception. 

 

640px-Weirs_Beach_Sign_New_Hampshire

A Brief History of Laconia Motorcycle Week®

The Laconia Motorcycle Week® began in 1916 when a Gypsy Tour first gathered at Weirs Beach to go riding. Just one year later it was made official by the Federation of American Motorcyclists (FAM). 

Their goal was simple: “To provide a good time for the riders, and their wives, sisters, and sweet-hearts,” and “To create a more favorable public opinion of the motorcycle and motorcycle riders.” 

Today, Laconia is still the home base of the ride, and the spirit of the goals they penned originally live on, but they have expanded to be more inclusive of different types of riders, including women. 

They’ve also updated their name over the years from the “New England Gypsy Tour” to the “New England Tour & Rally,” and now they are well-known as the Laconia Motorcycle Week®. It’s an extremely progressive event loved by the entire Lakes Region and beyond. 

Where to Explore

Numerous riders take advantage of the event’s close proximity to the White Mountains and reserve a day or two for exploring. The Weeks Act Legacy Trail is an awesome 100-mile driving loop that provides dozens (40 to be exact!) of recreational opportunities along with views that seemingly never end.

While you’re in the area why not stop, smell the roses, and take in the natural beauty? There’s a lot to see and do whether it’s affiliated directly with the week or not! New Hampshire is scenic and special, and luckily, a motorcycle is a perfect way to reach some of the best destinations you can imagine. The “trail” begins and ends near Lincoln, NH, here in the heart of the Western White Mountains, so we’ve put together a local guide that’s sure to please while you’re here!

  • Franconia Notch State Park

Whether you’ve been there once or one hundred times, Franconia Notch State Park is well worth a visit. The Basin is an especially popular and beautiful spot. This large natural feature dates back to the Ice Age!

franconia_notch_state_parkSamuel Eastman described it as, “One of the beautiful haunts of Nature, a luxurious and delicious bath fit for the ablutions of a goddess.”

You can take a walk down the paths, hike, or simply bring a picnic and enjoy the view. Whatever you choose to do, it’s going to be wonderful. 

 

  • Loon Mountain Resort

Take a break from your ride to take the White Mountain Express Gondola to the summit of Loon peak. This 1.3 mile ride awards you with breathtaking mountain views and clean crisp air!

  • The Woodstock Inn Brewery

During Laconia Motorcycle Week® it’s not unusual to see bikes of all kinds lining the road to this popular destination. Some riders choose to stay there overnight year after year (a great choice!) while others come for the delicious beer and food. 

Insider Tip! The Woodstock Inn Brewery is an innovative spot that runs (tasty) brewing experiments to determine the best kinds of beer to mass produce. While there you’ll typically be able to try something special alongside their signature beers like Pig’s Ear brown ale.

  • Souvenir Hunting

You’ll certainly want to remember this 100th Laconia Motorcycle Week®, so why not take some time to find the perfect White Mountains souvenir? Visit Arnold’s Antiques on Main Street in N. Woodstock for a blast from the past along with newly collected local items!

  • Family Fun

You can spend an entire afternoon exploring Clark’s Bears. From local gifts to attractions, train rides, and more, Clark’s is sure to please!

Want the kids to burn off some steam before heading back to the events? Check out Kids Studio Play or Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves for all the fun a kiddo could want!

 

  • Kancamagus Highway Adventure

The Kancamagus Highway is a beautiful ride at all times, but we recommend a late afternoon drive for the best views from the many pitstop lookouts. Plus, there’s the added benefit of grabbing dinner on the deck at One Love Brewery! The beer is terrific and they also offer trivia and live music on certain nights. 

  • Scale Mount Washington

There are several ways to enjoy Mount Washington. You could take your motorcycle up the mountain directly, or if you would rather include non-riding family members or friends you can choose to ride the Cog Railway! Either way, there’s no bad way to experience the highest elevation in the northeast.

 

Where to Eat and Drink

Black Diamond Pub – Enjoy classic New England pub fare and a deep selection of beers, wines and spirits in a lively casual atmosphere.

Woodstock Inn Brewery – When they say “Come hungry”, they mean it! Great atmosphere & live music on weekends!

Polly’s Pancake Parlor – Fuel up on the best pancakes around while taking in mountain views in beautiful Sugar Hill.

Pub 32 – No beer or pizza next 32 miles. A classic stop before or after a ride on the Kanc!

Rhythm Craft Beverages & Seven Birches Winery – Stop into Rhythm Studio or Seven Birches Winery for local handcrafted beverages, included wine, mead and cider.

Twin Barns Brewing Co. North Taproom – This new addition to Main Street in North Woodstock is BYOF, so grab a bite from nearby and settle in with a cold one on the outdoor patio and watch the bikes roll by.

White Mountain Bagel – Looking for a quick but delicious bite on your way through town? Order online and grab a bagel or sandwich to fuel your adventure.

Where to Stay

The traditional way to experience Laconia Motorcycle Week® includes camping as the lodging choice, but that’s far from the only hospitality option! Of course, there are many other options for local hotels and motels, so we encourage you to do research to find one that suits your personal preferences.

The December holiday break is a great time to visit with family and friends and create some holiday memories together.

Loon Mountain Resort and Cannon Mountain are open with lots of trails for you to explore on your new skis or board. There’s also cross country trails open at Ski Heart Farm and Franconia Village XC.  Winter hiking and snowshoeing in the White Mountain National Forest is another way to explore the beauty of our area.

There’s also many events happening in the area: from ice skating to sleigh rides, painting classes and ski races to a variety of New Year’s Eve Celebrations. For a full list of events visit our Events Calendar.

Let someone else do the cooking this holiday! Below you’ll find a list of holiday hours for some of our local restaurants in the area. If you didn’t want a full meal out, you can pre-order appetizers, breads, cakes and even entrees from the Purple Tomato in Lincoln, NH. Friday, December 21st is the last day to get in your orders.

We look forward to seeing you and helping you create some family memories. Happy Holiday’s from our community to you!
