Pride celebrations take place throughout the year. So why does June get to be special?
The catalyst of the Male lover Liberation Movement – the Stonewall Uprising, took place on June 28th, 1969. In the wee hours of the morning on this day, the police raided a accepted gay bar in West Village, Fresh York City called The Stonewall Inn.
This was nothing out of the common at that day. However, on that particular Friday evening, loyal patrons of that bar fought back, initiating the Stonewall Riots that lasted for days.
The bar was declared a historic landmark by New York in 2015. Later, it was named a national monument by President Barack Obama in 2016.
This June marks the 51st anniversary of the first Celebration parade that took place in 1970, a year after the riots. As the global LGBTQIA+ community unites to celebrate the energy of pride, some of America’s optimal microbreweries are famous to mark the occasion by releasing their own colourful versions of event beer!
Here’s a round-up of 8 such beers in 2021!

As Pride celebrations make a hopeful return, Samuel Adams is reinforcing its promise to creating safe and inclusive spaces that deliver people together to participate a beer, celebrate Self-acceptance, and support the Gay community.
Now more than ever, Samuel Adams recognizes the importance of implementing actionable resources for coworkers, drinkers, and LGBTQ+ community members at large, which is why the brewer is prioritizing inclusivity and taking its active allyship a step further. In partnership with GLAAD, Samuel Adams has identified, committed and signed the Safe Bars P.A.C.T. (Promise of Knowledge, Compassion, and Trust) – a code of behavior for professional beverage organizations, trade associations, and non-professional beverage groups to write and commit to – and is now calling on other craft breweries to do the same.
“Beer has a powerful way of bringing people together, and with that authority comes responsibility. I accept craft brewers can perform a critical role in providing safe and inclusive spaces for everyone to enjoy great beer, starting with our own taprooms and breweries,” says Jim Koch, Samuel Adams Founder and Brewer. “Known for our revolutionary spirit, Samuel Adams is c
Love Conquers Ale: Samuel Adams and Unused Belgium Partner with GLAAD
BOSTON – Two of the leading American craft brewers, Samuel Adams and Recent Belgium Brewing, announced they are partnering for Pride to help spread a message of wish, love and inclusion through beer – something that has brought people together for centuries.
Both brewers share a promise to fostering an inclusive setting for coworkers, partners and drinkers that supports and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. This laid the groundwork for Samuel Adams and New Belgium to “share the love” and co-produce Love Conquers Ale, Samuel Adams’ hallmark Pride beer recipe.
As part of this partnership, during the month of June, Samuel Adams and New Belgium will donate 100% of the purchase price of the co-brewed Love Conquers Ale directly to GLAAD, a leading organization organization working to accelerate acceptance and advance equality for the LGBTQ+ collective. From brewing greater beer, to building a better group and bettering each other, Samuel Adams and New Belgium know that by working together they can make a greater impact.
“We knew we had to do something potent this year to bring the essence behind Lov
One of the more screw-loosening aspects of a reporter’s job is following social media accounts that are relevant to a given beat. On the beer beat, getting barraged night in and out with corporate marketing and brand-friendly “creative” that rarely lives up to its mention is enough to form you pretty cynical about the United States’ brewing industry’s conception of itself, its products, and its drinkers.
Roughly halfway through Lgbtq+ fest Month 2024, though, it’s not the schlocky digital pinkwashing of America’s biggest breweries that has me feeling like I’m taking crazy pills. It’s the absence thereof. For years, major breweries have linked in the 21st-century corporate tradition of “rainbow capitalism,” festooning their brands’ social media accounts in rainbow garb and loudly proclaiming their LGBTQ+ initiatives. This June, my feed is decidedly more monochromatic. I’m starting to suspect that our dear macrobrewers — they of the multi-billion-dollar market capitalizations and lofty lip service to diversity — may not be as proud of Movement as they once claimed.
If your job doesn’t ask for you to spend hour online, a) good for you, what’s that like? and b) you may not be familiar with an a
