Hold My Beer! One New York Town Has Best Brew Festival in America

Cheers! One New York town holds one of the best beer festivals in the country every year. And it's all to celebrate women.

The Brave Brews Festival in Auburn, New York highlights women in the craft beer industry. The annual event was inspired by the Pink Boots Society's Collaboration Brew Day, a ritual that kicks off Women's History Month at Prison City Brewing.

History tells us that it takes a brave woman to thrive in a Finger Lakes winter. As the epicenter of the women's rights movement, this fiercely beautiful region celebrates women both past and present.
