Our Bristol brewery has created a special new beer for International Women's Day
A brewery in Bristol is releasing a special new beer to mark International Women's Day.
Bristol Beer Factory has announced the launch of Cowgirl Supernova, a limited edition 5.0% Kolsch IPA created and brewed by an entirely female team.
As well as sporting a pair of pink Chappell Roan-inspired cowboy boots on the can, the beer is made using the ‘Pink Boots’ hop blend (which is only allowed to be used by female brewers) provided by Yakima Chief.
£2,000 of funds raised from the product will be going directly to four local charities: Easton Cowgirls FC, Trans Pride Bristol, One25 and Project Mama.
Bristol Beer Factory’s marketing manager, Kezia FG Williams, said: “We’re so excited to be releasing Cowgirl Supernova, and shining a spotlight on the amazing women here at BBF and across the beer industry.
“It’s fantastic to be able to commit to donating part of the funds raised to such a range of amazing charities in our city who do such incredible work with women and trans communities across the city.”
Bristol Beer Factory will celebrate the public launch of Cowgirl Supernova with several events leading up to International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8.
On Friday, March 6, it will host a tap takeover at the female-led pub, the Seven Stars in Redcliffe. The event will showcase Cowgirl Supernova alongside a variety of other Bristol Beer Factory beers on cask and keg. Attendees can enjoy live music from local musician Bethany Chadd and have the opportunity to meet the female brewers behind the new beer.
Additionally, a special workshop will be hosted as part of the city’s International Women’s Day 2026 celebrations at City Hall on Saturday, March 7. The brewers will share their story and the vision behind the beer, along with a tasting of Cowgirl Supernova.
Cowgirl Supernova will be available for UK wide delivery from Bristol Beer Factory’s website starting from Monday, March 2. It will also be served in all of Bristol Beer Factory’s venues, including The Barley Mow, the Arnolfini, Junction, The Pump House, and BBF Tap Room.
