E-Malt.com News article: USA, OR: Full Sail Brewing plans to release a new beer in their Brewer’s Share Experimental lineup

Full Sail Brewing will release a new beer in their Brewer’s Share Experimental line up: “Duffy’s Counterpunch,” an Imperial Cascadian Dark Ale crafted by Marketing Coordinator Stephanie Duffy, Brewbound reported on October 23. This ICDA is rich and complex, with woodsy evergreen aromas complemented by notes of coffee and dark chocolate from roasted malts.

“My beer defies the traditional expectations of a “girl’s beer.” Like many women, I love my beer and I appreciate a broad cross-section of craft brews. I’m lucky to live and work in a beautiful place like Oregon, where craft beers are such a vital part of our culture. Though the beer industry is still very male-dominated (as are so many other industries), I thought it was especially appropriate to brew a bold, strong beer in honor of all the bold, strong women who shirk stereotypes and avoid being pigeonholed. We’re in no need of pandering! Our tastes are as diverse as anyone else’s. Duffy’s Counterpunch is a richly nuanced counterargument—in beverage form,” said Duffy.

She adds that, “Strong women have always inspired me, and I’m fortunate to have a CEO and Founder like Irene Firmat leading us employee-owners at Full Sail. She’s been in the game with the boys since 1987 and has come to the forefront as a savvy businesswoman who creates a company that truly loves and respects the culture of beer. You couldn’t ask for a better female role model than that.”

The Brewer’s Share series is a line-up of small batch draft beers where each Full Sailor takes a turn hand-crafting their own single batch recipe and a portion of the proceeds benefit a local charity of their choosing. Full Sail’s Brewer’s Share Experimental beers will only be available on tap at Full Sail’s Brew Pub in Hood River, Oregon, and at Full Sail’s Brewery at Riverplace, in Portland, Oregon.
