A jubilee in a can

Amsterdam-based brewery Queer Beer celebrates COC Nederland's 80th anniversary—marking eighty years of the world's oldest existing LGBTQ+ organization—with the Pride Pale Ale. This special release is more than just beer; it's a statement of purpose. With intentional distribution to only 80 locations across the Netherlands and €0.10 per can donated to COC, Queer Beer combines craft brewing with meaningful social engagement.

Style and character

The Pride Pale Ale is a classic Pale Ale from North Holland distinguished by refined hop selection and botanical additions. The beer presents floral hop and elderflower notes, complemented by herbal-grassy characteristics that deliver a fresh character. The palate follows the same elegant trajectory with floral hop and elderflower, supported by soft bitterness that maintains excellent drinkability.

Tasting experience

On the nose, floral hop and elderflower dominate with herbal-grassy accents. The palate unfolds the same floral complexity with elderflower and a pleasant, soft bitterness. The finish is clean and refined, with a pleasant lingering note of soft bitterness.

For whom?

This beer appeals to craft beer enthusiasts who appreciate well-crafted Pale Ales and those wanting to support an important cause. The limited availability at 80 locations makes this a special release that transcends being merely a beverage.
