The second edition of the Queer Beer Festival is being held over two days at the Wharf, with 30 breweries that Hop Culture says are “Queer-owned or Queer-operated, have LGBTQIA+-identifying people in prominent leadership positions, or are allies actively supporting the Queer community through programs, initiatives, or beers.” Participants include Denizens, Night Shift, Ten Eyck, Singlecut, Fullsteam and Red Bear, and there will be live music as well as unlimited beer samples. Last year, Hop Culture held a virtual Queer Beer Festival, an online gathering with a tasting of 10 beers, which were shipped directly to customers panels and a cooking class. In 2018, the Pittsburgh-based online beer magazine launched Beers With(out) Beards, a festival celebrating woman-led breweries.
Hop Culture x New Belgium present Queer Beer at the Wharf: Hop Culture loves to turn conventional craft beer culture on its head.
