Drop Bear has released its first limited edition to celebrate pride month and support the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, Galop.

Whilst the LGBT+ founded brewery, Drop Bear Beer Co. believes pride should be celebrated every day of the year, this year the brewer is celebrating pride month its inaugural limited edition beer, True Colours.

LGBT+ founders and married couple, Joelle and Sarah Drummond were the subject of a hate crime in 2022. This event served as a stark reminder to the couple of the importance of visibility and representation, leading to an ongoing charity partnership with Galop.

“True Colours is more than just a beer, it’s a reminder that we should all help create a world in which everyone is safe to show their true colours.” Shared Joelle Drummond, Co-Founder of Drop Bear Beer Co.

“We have a diverse team at Drop Bear and whilst we celebrate pride 365 days a year, we’re so excited to do something special for Pride 2024. As one of very few LGBT+ breweries in the UK, we feel a responsibility to promote the inclusivity and diversity that can exist within the brewing world.”

Amy Roch, Interim CEO of LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, Galop, said: “We’re so grateful that Drop Bear Beer’s Pride beer will feature Galop’s National Hate Crime Helpline number.”

“Through our frontline services, Galop supports thousands of LGBT+ abuse and violence survivors every year. At a time when LGBT+ people are facing higher levels of abuse and violence, Drop Bear Beer are helping us to provide a lifeline for those in need.”
