The comedian Joe Lycett has launched a Pride-themed beer, in collaboration with the London-based LGBTQ+ beverage company, Queer Brewing.
“Rainbow Juice” is a single-hopped Luminosa pale ale (4.5%), with “lots of tropical and peachy-mango-lemonade notes, and a soft, juicy body.”
The drink was launched to support Lycett’s Queen’s Heath Pride project, started by the comedian in 2021 in response to a anti-LGBTQ+ protests in King’s Heath Birmingham. The event is run together with Lycett’s local pub, The Juke.
This year’s Queen’s Heath Pride took place on the 6th July, with performances from the likes of Ginny Lemon and Rhys’s Pieces.
Queer Brewing have previously released beers to support the event, but Rainbow Juice is the first official collaboration with Lycett himself, featuring his artwork on the can. 50p of each can will be donated to Queens Heath Pride, with a further 10p to the brewing company’s quarterly rotating charity (currently Not A Phase).
Fans can grab the beer from the Queer Brewing website!
