“Brewed with Cascade hops and an experimental yeast that gives this beer a sweetened fruit cereal taste, this pale ale is sure to leave you filled with pride,” stated a N.E.W. Ales release.
Owner and brewer of Gold Spot Brewing in Denver, Colorado, Kelissa Heiber, grew up just outside the Middletown area. She wanted to team up with a local brewery for a Pride Month collaboration, and N.E.W. Ales was the perfect fit.
“We had a great time collaborating on this beer, and having Kelissa here with us made it extra special,” said N.E.W. Ales co-founder and president, Beth O’Harra.
N.E.W. Ales is a majority women-owned brewery and both O’Harra and Heiber are part of the LGBTQ+ community, according to the release.
“This led to a perfect fit for the two breweries and produced a beer that was crafted with a deeper inspiration than most,” stated the release.
