Life’s weird. The world around us is strange.
So just relax. Let’s get together and have a beer.

#LGBTQRaise a glass to diversity#PrideSpeak your truth#LoveIsLove

Let's celebrate!

Let’s get on thing straight (pun intended): we don’t care what you look like, who you love, or how you express your gender. Queer Beer is not just about the beer. It’s about being authentic and being part of something bigger than yourself. It’s about raising our glasses, and our voices.

Can a beer bring us together? Let’s find out.

Queer Beer Lager

Flavor unmatched

Classic beer style that originated in the Czech Republic – characterized by its light golden color, brilliant clarity, and effervescence.

Born this way

Queer Beer was born as most small-batch, craft brews are. It started with two best friends bonding over brews. These two guys, Nate and Paul, happen to be gay. Their beer, like their lives, is authentically refreshing.

Join the fun!
