Come together with Leith's queer community, be the first to try our special edition Pride Beer, and raise money for the Trans community! 🏳️‍⚧️

That's right—two of your favourite local, queer-owned businesses have come together to launch a delicious, limited edition fundraiser beer for Pride 2026! Studio Lutalica designed the label, and Closet Brewing brewed the beer. A match made in heaven, right?

What's the event?

This fundraising event will bear the tropical fruits of our labour! (Did some say Hazy Pale Ale?) A Pride-shaped party to bring together Edinburgh's queer community, queer-owned businesses and community groups, enjoy a cold drink in the sun, and—most importantly—to raise funds for the LGBTQ+ community 🍻

Where will the funds raised go?

All proceeds from ticket donations and raffle sales (YES, there will be a BIG GAY raffle!) and 10% of all beer sales will be donated to Studio Lutalica's Community Impact Fund—the Designing For Trans+ Futures strand—which offers free and discounted design support to Trans-led projects.

Location

Custom Lane
1 Customs Wharf
Leith
Edinburgh
EH6 6AL

When?

Thursday, 11 June

6-8:30 pm (afterparty at Lost in Leith)

Agenda

Doors open at 6pm. Come on in, grab yourself a drink, buy a raffle ticket, and get to know your fellow queers. There'll be local queer business owners, creatives, community groups, allies, and the wider LGBTQ+ community.

It's really an opportunity to come together and kick off the Pride season IRL! Plus, you can also expect a short hello from both Studio Lutalica and Closet Brewing, and the opportunity to enter said BIG GAY raffle.

We'll then head to Lost in Leith, who are kindly hosting us for the afterparty—where you'll be able to try our beer on tap!

Remember! 10% of all beer sales on the night (and throughout Pride season) will be donated to Designing for Trans Futures 🍻🏳️‍⚧️

And the backstory?

Studio Lutalica is an Edinburgh-based not-for-profit studio supporting women and LGBTQ+ people through accessible design. Earlier this year, we launched our Community Impact Programme and fund—a pot we're filling because we believe professional design shouldn't be a luxury, but a tool for (queer) liberation!

With Pride on the horizon, we were exploring ways we could work with other queer businesses to raise funds for the CIP. Closet Brewing—the first openly queer-owned brewery in Scotland—was the first to come to mind. Following a quick coffee and chat, they were in! Together, we've created this special edition Pride beer in honour of Trans+ icon, Marsha P. Johnson. The 'P' stands for... You guessed it! Pay It No Mind.
