Today we’re making Colorado beer history with the first all-female-brewed collaboration beer in Colorado.

The beer (a Belgian-style pale ale) is being brewed by our own Bess Dougherty and a number of other women in the CO craft beer scene.

Bess organized this crafty group, and the beer will be the official beer of the upcoming debut of Colorado Craft Beer Week, March 18-24.

It’s a Belgian-style pale ale of 4-5 % ABV made with input, artistry and labor from the women involved in the brewing of the beer today.

The group includes Natalie Lesko of Funkwerks, Sydney Skilken from Denver’s TRVE Brewing, Linsey Cornish of Odell Brewing, Reva Golden from Twisted Pine, Ashleigh Carter of Prost Brewing and Melissa Antone and Sara Ferber from Avery Brewing.

Some of the participating brewers provided ingredients for the beer, and Brewers Supply Group provided the base malt for this one-time-only, super-limited-release beer.

This morning we hosted a live broadcast of KDVR/FOX 31’s popular morning show, with FOX’s legendary (and wonderfully kooky) Dan Daru chronicling the making of this historic beer.
