LGBTQ-owned breweries serving up Pride in every pint



Rare Bird Brewpub in Traverse City, Michigan

The craft beer scene is renowned for its rich tapestry of flavors and styles, but the beer industry itself has historically been a bit… homogenous. But a heartening trend has emerged in recent years with a new wave of LGBTQ+ brewers shaking things up, challenging the norm, and crafting beers as multifaceted and inclusive as the community they hail from.

It’s with great pride we witness an increasing diversity in ownership of craft breweries established by members of the LGBTQ+ community. Not only are these establishments crafting delectable brews, but they are also fostering safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies.

In honor of Pride Month this June, we are highlighting LQBTQ-owned breweries across the US and Canada who have self-identified as LGBTQ-owned on Yelp. From San Diego to Montreal, scroll below to discover more than 25 LGBTQ-owned breweries worth bookmarking on Yelp.
