Happy Pride 2023!

The LGBTQ+ community has had a longtime friend in the Colorado brewing industry.

Here are some of the Colorado breweries that are proudly showing their support through events, rainbow-themed merch, special beer releases, and an outpouring of love for the entire LGBTQ+ community.

This is a living article in which I will add more information throughout Pride month as I find out about it.

*************

Queer-Owned Colorado Breweries

*************

Colorado has three Queer-Owned breweries!  

Read about all of them plus other queer owned/supportive breweries around the country in this article:  43 Queer-Led and Queer-Supporting Breweries to Champion Right Now

Goldspot Brewing

Goldspot is a fabulous craft brewery in Denver’s Berkeley/Regis neighborhood with traditional ales and lagers and some not so much.
They strive to create a sense of community, a place to be known, to gather, to celebrate and to feel at home.
They hope their eclectic, balanced, and lovingly crafted beer will bring people together to share in this wild adventure of living and living well.
Kelissa Hieber is their head brewer and sole owner.

Lady Justice Brewing

The Lady Justice Brewing Company was dreamed up by Betsy Lay, Kate Power, and Jen Cuesta during their 2010 service in AmeriCorps – asking the question “why can’t we brew beer and give back to our community?” What began as a small operation on a custom-built homebrew system in a tiny storage space has grown into a flourishing taproom and movement.

Today, Lady Justice Brewing is a community-focused brewery dedicating time, space, and money to nonprofits and community partners that support and empower women and girls in the state of Colorado. Their giving is focused in two direct ways: through their Community-Supported Beer (CSB) memberships with 100% of profits over cost going directly to nonprofit partners, and through the fabric of the taproom community, highlighting opportunities to volunteer, collaboration brews, and more.

Betsy Lay is their co-owner and brewer.

Mountain Toad Brewing

Having just celebrated their 10-year anniversary, Mountain Toad Brewing, a small brewery in Golden, is the oldest queer-owned brewery in Colorado.
Their focus is on providing a place for the community to gather and unwind.  The taproom offers a quaint and comfortable atmosphere for locals and visitors alike to grab a pint and make a new friend. Good vibes and high fives are always on tap.

Mountain Toad is owned by Thad Briggs & his partner Brian Vialpando

The Yarrow Taproom

While not a brewery quite yet, The Yarrow Taproom in Austin Colorado is on the Colorado Brewery List as a brewery in planning.
Maddie & Jess, a delightful young couple, met in college at Western State in Gunnison and then opened this taproom in a tiny west Colorado town.
They already have a good Colorado craft beer tap list and I look forward to when they eventually are serving their own beer!

Our family: nuclear, staff, and customers, are diverse and colorful, and we work for justice and love to encircle them every day.

June heralds many things and is also when we dive deeply into using Burns Family Artisan Ales’ resources to fund support for LGBTQIA+ non-profits. With initiatives this month, you can help build the world we envision for everyone; one where self-expression and love is done freely, proudly, without fear.

 

Cannonball Creek Brewing

Cohesion Brewing

Happy Pride Denver! The entire month of June, we’ll be donating a portion of every half liter pour from our core beer lineup to three local and incredible charities, all working towards creating a community that advocates, celebrates and protects the LGBTQ+ community. 53¢ from every half liter of 10°, 12° and Tmavé will be donated to the below charities, in honor of the 53rd anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Help us drink some beer and raise money for these incredible organizations!

This Friday, 6/2 we worked with the Gaykery to put together a Flight and Dessert pairing! Each pairing will include three tasters – 10 degree paired with a spiced orange cookie, Dub paired with a brown butter macaroon, and Tmave paired with a toffee coffee cake. Available until sold out.

You can find us on 6/10 at the Big Gay Beer Day at Call To Arms Brewing from 12-4. We are so pumped to participate with some other great breweries, with all ticket proceeds donated to The Transformative Freedom Fund. Get your tickets today!

Pride Charities

12° will be benefiting The Center on Colfax: Focused on fulfilling our mission by ensuring that every member of the LGBTQ community has access to the programs and resources they need to live happy, healthy, and productive lives.

10° will be benefiting One Colorado: Advocate for LGBTQ Coloradans and their families by lobbying the General Assembly, the executive branch, and local governments on issues like safe schools, transgender equality, relationship recognition, and LGBTQ health and human services.

Tmavé will be benefiting YouthSeen: Foster and empower the social and emotional well-being of LGBTQI youth and their families in all communities by establishing partnerships with groups who specifically tailor their resources, education and outreach to our youth and young BIPoC + LGBTQIA+ community.
