BLOOD ORANGE AND HIBISCUS IPA
Resilient. Versatile. Caring. Strong. Words cannot fully describe the women of Cabin, and the impact they have on Alberta’s craft beer industry. Cabin wouldn’t be Cabin without them.

On International Women’s Day on March 8, these amazing women joined as part of the @pinkbootssociety initiative to brew a blood orange and hibiscus IPA, called Poster Girl. It has big aromas and flavours of orange, grapefruit, lemon and pine and has a glorious orange and pink hue. The finish is dry, with a little malty sweetness to remind you you’re not drinking a glass of grapefruit juice.
.
Poster Girl is named in honour of Canada’s original poster girl Veronica Foster, a machine gun assembly worker who shot to fame as the face of Canada’s home war effort during Wold War II. Ronnie the Bren Gun Girl, as she was known, defined feminine strength and liberation at a time of great upheaval. Better yet, she was real – her image spurred the US to create their own fictional icon, Rosie the Riveter, to help with their war propaganda effort.
