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 Still Classy Saison by Mascot Brewery at Mascot Brewery Beer GardenVery nice Saison that is dry and prickly and crisp and lemony and a bit peppery, just how I like ‘em.
- Greg C. is drinking an Italian Lager by Mascot Brewery at Mascot Brewery Beer GardenBetter than I recall it being at the old location, and it was pretty decent even then. Sweetness seems more restrained. Great herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Twice As Mad IIPA by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinSuch a treat to have an IIPA that you can see through, and which tastes of bitter citrus & pine rather than sweet tropical fruit. #oldschool
- Greg C. is drinking a Super Lemon Hazy IPA by Incidents & Accidents at King & DufferinNot as much lemon character as I expected - it leans more herbal/grassy with some citrus zest in the finish. Not bad, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Red Racer After Hours Old Fashioned Pale Ale by Red Racer at King & DufferinNot keen on the slightly sludgy sediment, but the flavour is excellent & approximates an Old Fashioned remarkably well.
