Society of Beer Drinking Ladies 005
Our fifth collaboration (only 9995 to go!) with the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies is the ultimate summer sipper! This Hibiscus Pale Ale pours a pink hue and bursts with floral and citrus notes and hints of coconut, vanilla and berries to round it out. Balanced, tart and refreshing, it’s perfect for patios and parks. Art by Star Horn, a Kanien’keháka (Mohawk) multidisciplinary artist and designer from Kahnawake, Que.
