A SCOTTISH BREWER has brewed what it’s claiming as the ‘world’s first transgender beer’.
The beer is called No Label and is by Brew Dog to celebrate the opening the brewer’s new bar in Soho in London.
The area has long been associated with the city’s LGBT community and the beer has been brewed in a manner that reflects that.
Brewdog explains:
This 4.6% ABV Kölsch has been brewed with hops that have changed sex from female to male flowers prior to harvest. We have used these to emphasise that, just like humans, beer can be whatever the hell it wants to be, and proud of it.
These hops used are called Jester hops and are naturally prone to altering sex while growing.
The brewer goes on to explain that the beer is also brewed with ale yeast but is then cold-conditioned to give it some of the characteristics of a lager.
“The beer draws parallels with individuals who identify themselves in a similar ‘non-binary’ way, as neither exclusively male nor female,” the brewer says in its description of the beer.
All profits from the sale of the beer are being donated to London LGBTI organisation Queerest of the Queer.

I hope it drops down to below Zero & freezes the shxxe outa all the germs, virus’s & infections that are doing the rounds now. So many people sick with all the dirty fog & damp weather. A decent blast of frost & ice will soon solve that.
It was -36 here in Calgary yesterday . A day for the high stool and the bovril !
Ronan, I remember a friend of mine who emigrated to Edmonton, he said Ireland always felt colder when he came home for Christmas because of the damp.
I’d still rather be short taken in Enniscorthy than Edmonton though.
I was in Regina, Saskatchewan in central Canada for 3 weeks on a business trip. Just home a few days…. The first week or so it was -22 Celsius on a good day! Took your breath away! Crazy cold. Wind chill brought it down to – 31 Celsius. But Ireland’s damp cold is something to behold.
when was the last time met eireann got the weather forecast right?
Today?
Nowhere near to -2…
The forecast rain moving across the country and a night-time low of -2, we got both .
What a time to shave off my MO. My top lip will be cold tomorrow.
I really hope you’re a fella?.
Grab the duvet and stay in bed
Roll on summer!
No no no.it’s the warmest 1st week in December on record.
I’ll believe it when I feel it.
I have my hat got since last week (and I have rarely taken it off) but I still refuse to wear my winter jacket. Has to drop to below 0 for that.
When does it not feel cold and wintry…only stating the obvious.
Where were you all summer?
I have a whopper scarf and hat. Jacomos.com is the spot. Clothes only whop they are
Great. Just when my boiler decides to have a tantrum.
have your say
