Each year on International Women’s Day, Dock Street Brewing Company, Philadelphia’s original craft brewery, woman-owned and family-run since 1985, releases Citrahood, a 7% ABV tangerine IPA, celebrating sisterhood and women of all sizes, shapes, backgrounds, beliefs, gender identity and expressions.
