For the Ladies - Girls' Pint Out (GPO) - May 15

There is an all-female organization called Girls' Pint Out (GPO) headquarted in Indianapolis and spearheaded by Tamre. There are approximately 50 members in the Indianapolis area with Chapters in Chicago and Phoenix. Their websites are:http://girlspintout.wordpress.com/, http://girlspintout.wordpress.com/events/ and http://girlspintout.wordpress.com/chapters/.

Their focus is to get more females interested in craft beer through beer education, beer tastings led by experts in the craft beer industry, monthly beer events, field trips, and meet-ups and drives. The atmosphere is laid back and non-threatening as evidenced by my attending my first GPO event which was a beer and cheese pairing event recently held in Indianapolis at Crown Liquors (downtown). There were approximately 25 attendees sampling and pairing a variety of beers/cheeses.

I am interested in organizing a Fort Wayne Chapter of GPO to initiate/educate those ladies here locally and nearby what craft beer is all about. It will be for ladies who are beginning to discover craft beer, who may be somewhat skeptical about trying craft beer and for those ladies who drink craft beer but may be looking to further their knowledge about craft beer.
