Bristol brewery to release special beer for International Women’s Day
Made with herbs and heather as a tribute to their “alewife” predecessors – the original female makers and sellers of beer, who used botanicals to flavour and preserve beer – a new beer from Wiper & True has been developed by an all-women team.
Named XX to represent the female chromosomes, the gooseberry wheat beer featuring the botanicals meadowsweet and heather is a limited edition brew which will be released on International Women’s Day on March 8.
From recipe development, brewing and packaging, to sales and promotion, only women at Wiper & True in St Werburgh’s have been involved in the creation of XX; their intention being to promote and celebrate the contribution of women to the the world of beer.
is needed now More than ever
The beer – part of the profits from which will be donated to Bristol Women’s Voice – will be launched in Bristol at Wiper & True’s brewery and taproom on York Street on Saturday, March 10.
