City Star women brew Calamity Jane
City Star Brewing staff came together on International Women’s Day, Tuesday March 8, to brew an annual ladies collaboration, Calamity Jane.
The Berthoud brewery participated in past collaborations with Root Shoot Malting in 2015, Spirit Hound Distillers in 2016 and 2017 and Grimm Brothers Brewhouse in 2018, and produced the 2022 brew as an in-house effort.
“The female brew is an opportunity to have fun and highlight empowered women at City Star, within our community, and in the beer industry,” spokeswoman Whitney Way said in a news release.
She said the beer brewed this year is a blend of sour barrel aged golden ale with a citrus pale ale. City Star ladies brewed the pale ale together on IWD with fresh lime and sumo tangerine zest.
Calamity Jane is scheduled for release at 3-9 p.m. Friday, April 1, along with Calamity Jane “Be a Legend” T-shirts. The release event will also feature female owned Italian food truck Ting’s Things and local musician Andrea Deepe of 10 Year Echo.
The release said the beer is named after Calamity Jane, “a woman of the Wild West known for her sharp shooting, whisky-swilling and kindness towards others. And as she so famously quotes, ‘I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should just go ahead and be one.”’
The brewery is located at 321 Mountain Ave., Berthoud.
