CLOUDBURST

TART LEMON AND BLUEBERRY ALE

No one can deny it’s been a challenging year. The global pandemic burst upon us like a sudden downpour a year ago, and it’s barely let up since.

Cloudburst Tart Blueberry and Lemon Ale is released to celebrate International Women’s Day 2021. While COVID restrictions meant we couldn't bring the women of Cabin together to brew the beer, they decided the style, flavour profile and name and put our brew team to work. Cloudburst uses a hop blend provided as part of the Pink Boot Society initiative, which strives to improve gender diversity in the brewing industry. A portion of Cloudburst sales will go to the Pink Boots Society.

The sweet fruitiness of the blueberries and vanilla in this easy-drinking sour are balanced with the underlying acidity of lemons, while lactose adds creaminess. Think of it as a pie in a pint glass 🥧.

This year’s IWD theme is Choose to Challenge and we invite you to raise a glass of Cloudburst high to show you’re in. From challenge comes change - and we’ll cheers to that.

POSTER GIRL

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.

FIRST LIGHT

SESSION IPA

First Light: when the dawn awakens, when the coffee goes on and when the day is filled with endless possibilities. It’s when we end our nights, start our days and dream big dreams. This beer was brewed on International Women’s Day by the women who help make Cabin great, as part of the Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day. Using the Pink Boots hop blend, they carefully crafted a delicate yet assertive west coast-style session IPA. It is light enough to be sessionable, yet loaded with amazing floral, spicy and citrus aromas and a lingering nutty malt backbone.
