Canberra’s BentSpoke Brewing Co. has launched the same great Barley Griffin beer with a new pack look. For a limited time only, you can purchase BentSpoke’s favourite Pale Ale with Mama and Papa Skywhale packaging designed by Patricia Piccinini, the hot air balloon artist herself.
You will be able to find these Canberra packs in a bottle shop near you as early as Monday the 19th of April. BentSpoke will also have a limited run of Skywhale x Barley Griffin t-shirts which you can purchase on their website.
Since BentSpoke started canning its beers back in 2014, drinkers could find the original Skywhale Mama air balloon hidden in the can’s design. For BentSpoke this represents their strong Canberra roots and the many things that make Canberra great. This inspired Tracy, BentSpoke Founder along with Patricia Piccinini to collaborate further.
Initially, the two brewed the Skywhale Ale, which you can find on tap at the Braddon BrewPub. Then with the launch of Skywhale Papa this year, they decided to do another collab on the Barley Griffin packaging to celebrate the launch of Skywhale papa over Lake Burley Griffin.
