QUESNEL, BC – Barkerville Brewing has announced the release of the result of its participation in the 2018 edition of International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (ICWBD).
Hurdy Gurdy Hibiscus Pale Ale (4.6% abv, 33 IBU) was brewed on March 8th – which was also International Women’s Day – with hibiscus used in the brew to align with this year’s IWCBD theme of “Unite Exotic”.
Named in honour of a “tough but entertaining dance troupe” that came to Barkerville during the gold rush of the 1860s, Hurdy Gurdy is described as follows:
Light and slightly tart, this rose-coloured pale ale is bursting with juicy grapefruit, balanced with a subtle hint of strawberry on the finish. Low in alcohol – yet high in delight – this is the perfect summer patio beverage.
Hurdy Gurdy Hibiscus Pale Ale is available now in 650 ml bottles. Partial proceeds will be donated to the Pink Boots Society to provide educational scholarships and support to women in the brewing industry.

- 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.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Co. at King & DufferinClose to 2 years old. A bit oxidized but still everything you expect from FBS - chocolate, coffee, tasted oats & more. Always a classic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monks' Reserve Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinDoesn’t have the depth of a Belgian Trappist, but for a New World take on a Quad, it’s very good with strong malt base & nice spice notes.
