About Dyke Beer

Loretta Andro Chung and Sarah Hallonquist are the brains and grassroots activists behind Dyke Beer, both a product that honors and celebrates LGBTQIA+ spaces and history and are event producers that host events throughout New York City, like Queeraoke, Dyke Cookouts and Self Defense classes.

Talk to us about how Dyke Beer came into existence. What was your inspiration for creating this exciting new product?

Dyke Beer needed to go above and beyond, from excellent label art, to delicious taste, to events, bars, stores, and catering experiences that are safe and fun for the dyke and queer community. When the pandemic hit, we were no longer able to throw our monthly Dyke Bar Takeover events, so we shifted our thinking and came up with the idea of creating Dyke Beer. We felt that many of our lesbian bars didn’t have a good craft beer and thought, what better time to create it than now? People could grab a Dyke Beer to go and bring home some solidarity with them. Dyke Beer says, “You exist and you are important.”
