PICTON, ON – Barley Days Brewery has announced the release of a new limited edition beer to raise awareness and funds for a project to establish a writer-in-residence program in the home of the late Canadian poet Al Purdy.
A Sensitive Man is a 3.5% and 25 IBU session ale named after a line from At The Quinte Hotel, one of Purdy’s best known poems, and also the source of the “Contains Fart & Horse Piss” warning on the label.
A Sensitive Man is available now at the Barley Days retail store, with $1 from each six-pack sold being donated to the Al Purdy A-Frame Association.

- Greg C. is drinking a Donkey Venom w/ Black Currant (2018) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinA good sour ale with a big hit of tart black currant. Showing it’s age a bit, with some leathery oxidization. But still enjoyed it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Translucidus by Folly Brewpub at King & DufferinLovely & lively beer with moderate brett funk and subtle tropical fruit notes. Finish is dry and clean.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barrel Aged Farmhouse Saison by Mascot Brewery at King & DufferinThere’s a lot going on in this one - sharp & acidic tartness up front, some funk coming through, mellow oak, lemon & lime zest - very good!
- Greg C. is drinking an Oak Grove Barrel Aged Sour Ale by Bench Brewing Company at King & DufferinLooks a bit anemic in the glass - no head & lacks sparkle - and carbonation is also lacking. Flavour is good & as description promises. OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale by Stone Brewing at King & DufferinIn fine shape for 10+ years old. Oxidized, but we’ll carbonated, and plenty of chocolate, vanilla, oak & other notes promised on the label.
