Free the NEIPA

Overview

Young Henrys' female brewers are in the spotlight this month as the Newtown brewery launches its newest beer. Free the NEIPA has been created by brewers Carla Daunton and Michelle Hanrahan — with the help of all the women at the brewery — and has launched just in time for International Women's Day, of course.

The small-batch brew will be released on Friday, March 6 in venues and bottle shops all across Australia. In the spirit of IWD, ten percent of profits will be donated to Two Good Co — a Newtown charity that helps victims of domestic violence and homelessness through its buy-one, give-one lunch delivery model.

Free the NEIPA has been created as part of the brewery's limited release B-Side Series. It's a hazy New England IPA that uses tropical hops and boasts notes of bergamot orange and other citrus, resulting in a juicy, yet sessionable, IPA. Other B-Side Series brews have included the coral sour, tiramisu white stout, and rum and raisin ale.

Be quick if you want to get your hands on this brew — and do some good with your beer bucks — because it won't last long. You can Free the NEIPA at Young Henrys' Newtown brewery, at bars like The Unicorn Hotel and Mary's Newtown, or at bottle shops around town.
