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 an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
