E-Malt.com News article: USA, WA: Airways Brewing Company releases collaborative beer with Seattle Beer Broads

Just in time for Seattle Beer Week, Airways Brewing Company is releasing their second annual Seattle Beer Broads collaboration brew, available on draught beginning this week, brewbound.com reported on May, 13.

The Seattle Beer Broads is a group of over 160 local women working in the beer industry, celebrating their love of craft beer, and educating other women on the historical significance of females in the craft beer industry.

This year’s collaborative recipe and brew session resulted in a bitter. The Beer Broads Spring Bitter is similar to a British Extra Special Bitter (ESB), but with a Northwest flair. A portion of the proceeds will go to support education for women entering the brewing industry.

“For the second year in a row, the Beer Broads were surveyed and said they wanted to brew a beer that fits the season,” said Alex Dittmar, owner and head brewer at Airways Brewing Company. “We came up with a Northwest take on a British classic.”

Founded in Spring 2010, Airways Brewing Company is a growing microbrewery located in Kent, Washington. Currently producing several year-round and seasonal offerings – including Sky Hag IPA®, Chocolate Stout, Pre-Flight Pilsner™ and Oatmeal PSA™ – Airways Brewing also features limited edition and cask beers throughout the year.
