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 the women of Cabin couldn't come together to brew the beer, they decided the style, flavour profile and name and put Cabin's 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 you're invited to raise a glass of Cloudburst high to show you’re in. From challenge comes change - and we can all cheers to that.
