Queer beer

Queer beers? How can a beer be queer, or gay? Like with “gay wines“, there are a number of brands that have positioned themselves as particularly gay-friendly. And I do not mean Heineken, Budweiser, Miller or the other big boys who started to target the gay and lesbian consumers in the 90s. The “queer beers” I am talking about are – often, but not always – produced by members of the community. Some donate a portion of sales to LGBT organizations, others were launched with sponsorships of specific events that fall under the Pride umbrella.
