An all-female crew at Gage Roads Brew Co have teamed up with Pink Boots Society Australia for the fourth year running, to release a limited-edition West Australian inspired beer that will raise funds for scholarships to progress women in the industry.
Gage Roads Brew Co’s Sunset State WA IPA is inspired by WA’s unique beauty, combining native Jambinu Zest Geraldton Wax with a hop duo of Citra and Amarillo to bring fresh citrus vibes to the brew. Gage Roads Freo head brewer Simone Clements said the Geraldton Wax makes the brew a true WA IPA.
“Jambinu Zest Geraldton wax is a West Australian native plant and has a great citrus flavour, that really compliments the hop duo in the brew. Coming in at six per cent, this IPA has medium bitterness and a rounded malt body, pouring with a golden amber colour, reminiscent of WA’s summer sunsets,” said Simone.
Sunset State WA IPA will proudly fund a $10,000 scholarship program with Pink Boots Society Australia, to help grow the leadership skills and careers of women in the brewing industry. Last year’s WA scholarship recipients included Bronte O’Donoghue (Eagle Bay Brewing), Sarah Clarke (Wild Hop Brewing Company) and Zoe Haisma (Cheeky Monkey Brewing).
Gage Roads Brew Co brand manager Mimi Crompton said it’s great working with an all-female team to bring this beer to life.
“This is the fourth time we’ve brewed and released an IWD beer, and every year it’s always so great to work alongside the legendary ladies of Gage. I’m really proud of what we’ve delivered. The best part is that proceeds of Sunset State WA IPA proudly fund a $10k scholarship program with Pink Boots Society Australia, to help women in their beer career,” said Gage Roads Brew Co brand manager Mimi Crompton.
Sunset State WA IPA will be available on tap and in can across WA on International Women’s Day (March 8), with a bar shout and IWD industry panel Q&A at Gage Roads Freo to celebrate. Local muso Gracie from Joan and Giants will perform acoustic sets while the sun sinks into the horizon.
