A PARTNERSHIP between two craft brewers to celebrate International Women’s Day has come to fruition and is now on sale.
HonestBrew’s buyer Dulcie Neal teamed up with Tilehurst-based Double Barrelled and other female brewers to create the Ikaru Pale Ale during the annual International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day (IWCBD).
Now, the fruits of their labours can be tasted in the form of limited-edition Ikaru Pale Ale. It has an ABV of 5.7%, and is available while stocks last.
Luci Clayton-Jones, co-founder and managing director of Double Barrelled, said: “IWCBD is an important day for engaging women in beer – it’s a fantastic opportunity for women, and those who identify as women, to come together, experience a brew day and learn more about the opportunities in beer.”
And of their collaboration, Ms Neal said: “The beer has soft and peachy notes with a blend of three hops.
“It’s very tropical and luxurious.”
20p of every can is donated to Choose Love, which supports refugees and displaced people.
Ms Neal added: “I am very proud to have been part of this process as gender equality needs to last longer than one day.”
