- Tickets are available from the Hackney Brewery website, and include a Queer Brewing beer and birthday glass to take home. Event times are 7pm – 1am.
- Queer Brewing will be launching three new beers on Saturday 30 April;
A collaboration brewed with Hackney Brewery: a Hazy IPA named Ooooh!
Along with a collaboration with Polly’s Brew Co, and a third brand new beer of their own.
- The Hackney Brewery X Queer Brewing collab will first be available exclusively at High Hill Tap for the birthday party, with the general release on Tuesday 3rd May. Cans will be available to purchase online from the Hackney Brewery webshop.
- Artwork for the collab beer was designed by Hackney’s illustrator Pete Fowler.
Ooooh! is an 6.5% Hazy IPA with oodles of Azacca, Galaxy, and just a touch of Simcoe hops for vibrant peach and stone fruit flavours that’s soft, juicy and refreshing.
Lily Waite, Founder of Queer Brewing says:
We’re so excited to be working with Hackney Brewery both on one of our birthday beers and on the party itself: we talked about brewing something together at the 2018 launch of Hackney’s pride beer Unicorn Rodeo and seemingly every year since, so it’s really great to be finally working on something we’re all so jazzed about. Any birthday is special, but I started Queer Brewing as a one-person project and thought it might last a few months, so to be celebrating our third birthday with people and breweries we really look up to is extra special.
