Queer Brewing is a queer- and trans-owned brewery whose aim is to increase visibility and representation for LGBTQ+ people through beer. We produce a range of beers, from our iconic witbier through to delicious pales and IPAs, and everything in between.

Founded in 2019 as a collaboration-only project, Queer Brewing began with the aim of increasing visibility and representation for LGBTQ+ people in and around beer, using beer as a vehicle for change. In the first two years founder Lily raised tens of thousands of pounds for LGBTQ+ charities in numerous countries by brewing collaborations all over the world with some incredible breweries. After recognising a lack of LGBTQ+ representation in the beer world (despite a strong and wonderful queer community), Lily set out to change that by taking up space in an industry dominated by cisgender, heterosexual, male voices. Since then, we’ve certainly had an impact.

For the past three years we’ve been brewing our own beers too, from our beloved core range through to a range of varied and delicious specials. We’ve been growing ever since our first brew, making queer beers and beer queer, one beer at a time.

We’ve changed the way we raise money for charities, too: we used to raise money via collaboration beers, but as the company got busier and we had less time to collab, that became less effective. Now we donate 10p from every pint and every can to a quarterly-rotating charity. We’re currently fundraising for Queer Britain, the UK’s first and only LGBTQ+ museum. Read more about their work here.
