Young Henrys have announced a new beer in honour of International Women’s Day. It’s made entirely by women, and 10% of the profits will benefit charity.
A staple of Aussie pubs and gigs, Young Henrys have created yet another delicious beer for us to guzzle down. Cheekily titled ‘Free The NEIPA’, this New England IPA is said to have the “essence of bergamot, as well as tropical, fruit-forward hops.”
Led by brewers Carla Daunton and Michelle Hanrahan, and completely designed by women at Young Henrys, the new beer embodies the exact meaning of International Women’s Day. From the design to the brewing, and even the marketing, women were behind the beer the entire way.
As Daunton explained in an interview via Beer and Brewer, when concocting the new flavour, the brewers weren’t even sure what bergamot was. “When we first had the idea to use bergamot, we didn’t even know what it was, only that it was used in Earl Grey tea,” Daunton commented.
“The juice is insanely bitter, but the rind is packed with lovely oils. So, we infused a heap of dried bergamot rind in neutral grain spirit for a few days then fired up the still to extract as much of the sweet, citrusy deliciousness as possible.”
The brew will also have the added bonus of benefitting the charity Two Good Co. Beginning in 2010, the charity started as a means of feeding the less fortunate around Sydney. By 2017, the charity had managed to feed over 157,000 meals to women in need across Sydney and Melbourne.
“Young Henrys are an amazing partner who have supported our mission from the start – from supplying our events with their beer, to fundraising, to ordering our catering and stocking our toiletries in their bathrooms – we’re really grateful for Young Henrys continuous support,” states Vanessa of Two Good Co.
