It's Here, it's Queer, it's… Trans Beer?<\/b><\/p>\n

A brewery which will soon have roots in Columbus, Ohio, is giving new meaning to the term gender fluid, creating what it calls<\/a> the first-ever transgender beer.<\/p>\n

The beer, called “No Label” is made by BrewDog<\/a>, a craft brewery in Scotland, and its owners say they plans to begin selling bottles this Friday in London.<\/p>\n

And lest anyone think this is simply a marketing ploy to cash in on transgender acceptance, the company says it’s donating all the profits from “No Label” to an LGBT cause. <\/p>\n

BrewDog says it is quickly expanding<\/a> to spread its message of inclusivity overseas. “No Label is the world’s first ‘non-binary, transgender beer’ designed to reflect the diversity of the area and champion inclusivity,” according to the company’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, its Ohio brewery will be located on Gender Road.<\/a> Yes, that really is the road’s name.<\/p>\n

Beer, the company said, may naturally lend itself to discussions of non-binary identity. Hops, which are a key ingredient in many types of beer, are known to have different genders. BrewDog’s website explains it this way:<\/p>\n

\n

“This 4.6% ABV Kölsch has been brewed with hops that have changed sex<\/a> from female<\/a> to male<\/a> flowers prior to harvest. We have used these to emphasize that, just like humans, beer can be whatever the hell it wants to be, and proud of it.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To create the Kölsch style beer, BrewDog said it uses Jester hops, a variety naturally prone to altering sex<\/a> while growing. The brewmakers say they brew No Label “with 20kg that have undergone this change and grown male<\/a> flowers; to add diversity, rather than restrict it.”<\/p>\n

The brewery described its new beer as a concoction that “blurs boundaries between the binary worlds of lager and ale. The beer draws parallels with individuals who identify themselves in a similar ‘non-binary’ way, as neither exclusively male<\/a> nor female<\/a> – a community of people that is still largely under-acknowledged by society,” the company wrote on its website. <\/p>\n

And in support of the community, BrewDog says all proceeds from sales of the beer will be donated to the LGBTQI+ organization Queerest of the Queer<\/a>, a UK-based group, to support charities for transgender youth<\/a>. Cheers to that!<\/p>\n
