Women of Young Henrys Launch Limited Edition Beer

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Young Henrys brewers Carla Daunton and Michelle Hanrahan created the brew as part of the Young Henrys Brewer’s B-Side Series and called on all the women at Young Henrys to have a direct hand in brewing the beer. “FREE THE NEIPA” is a hazy, complex and fun NEIPA infused with the citrusy essence of bergamot, a key player in Earl Grey tea. Mixed with a motley crew of tropical, fruit-forward hops for a juicy, session-able beer made by women, enjoyed by everyone.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”68077″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On the concept of “FREE THE NEIPA”, Young Henrys brewer and head distiller Carla Daunton says: “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. Turns out it’s a small citrus and mainly comes from the Mediterranean. 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.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”68073″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Young Henrys brewer, Michelle Hanrahan further adds “When Carla and I decided we wanted to
brew a beer together,it made sense to bring all the amazing women of Young Henrys in to make it happen. Doing this in celebration of International Women’s Day was a no brainer. With our love of tea, intrigue with Bergamot and mutual fondness for a cheeky hazy IPA, “Free The NEIPA” was born!”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”68074″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Young Henrys supports and celebrates women all year round, from the Young Henrys brew floor and lab, their sales warriors and bar staff, to local creatives, bands, hospitality mates and surrounding charities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image media=”68071″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One charity that is particularly close to Young Henrys is the Newtown-based organisation Two Good Co.
