According to the cbc, Breton Brewing has released a canned beer that helps provide scholarships to women in the brewing industry to advance their careers.

The Sydney, N.S., brewery first released Pink Boots Blend Session IPA for International Women's Day in March with a limited keg supply in house. But when COVID-19 shut down the province, Breton Brewing's co-founder, Bryan MacDonald, thought about what could be done to support the many women who work in the brewing industry, so the decision was made to do a canned release.

Raquel Lewis works in the taproom at Breton and helped create the beer, along with the taproom's manager, Lauren Musycsyn, and Breton's head brewer, Iain Sutherland.

This was the first commercial batch Lewis had her hand in.
