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 a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
