The women of Dru Bru, Yakima Chief Hops, and Country Malt Group joined forces to create a bold and unique beer that’s truly the life of the party. Dru Bru introduces this year’s Alpha Female, a Rosé IPA.
“This beer doesn’t fit into any one style; it is a little bit West Coast IPA, a little bit Brut IPA, and fully pink and fun,” said the release announcement. “Exclusively featuring the specially crafted Pink Boots Hop Blend and Malt Blend, this ale is bursting with tropical and citrus fruit aromas, backed with light, balanced malt aromas, and comes across crisp and lightly dry. We also added a splash of dragonfruit to complement the hops and give it a fun and brilliant pink color. What’s more to love?”
Dru Bru crafted this beer for the Pink Boots Society to celebrate and support the women who brew, sell, pour, and drink craft beer. You can learn more about the Pink Boots Society and the Pink Boots Beers in a previously posted story here, or read on. Alpha Female is available at Dru Bru’s taprooms (Snoqualmie and Cle Elum) and at select accounts.
